Please
join me in remembering a
great icon. Veteran Pillsbury
spokesperson, The Pillsbury
Doughboy, died yesterday of a
severe yeast infection and
complications from repeated pokes
to the belly. He was 71. Doughboy
was buried in a slightly greased
coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned
out, including Mrs. Butterworth, the
California Raisins, Hungry Jack,
Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies,
Captain Crunch and many others.
The graveside was piled high with
flours as long-time friend,
Aunt Jemima, delivered the eulogy,
describing Doughboy as a man who
"never knew how much he was
kneaded."
Doughboy rose quickly in show
business, but his later life was
filled with many turnovers. He
was not considered a very smart
cookie, wasting much of his dough
on half-baked schemes.
Despite being a little flaky at times,
even as a crusty old man, he was
still considered a roll model for
millions.
Toward the end it was thought he'd
rise once again, but he was no tart.
Doughboy is survived by his second
wife, Play Dough. They have two
children and one in the oven. The
funeral was held at 3:50 for about
20 minutes.
