Please join me in   remembering a great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury   Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from   repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.

Doughboy was buried in a   lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their   respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins,   Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The grave site was   piled high with flours.

Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly   described 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 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 he still was a   crusty old man a nd was considered a positive roll model for   millions.

Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, two children,   John Dough and Jane Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived   by his elderly father, Pop Tart.

The funeral was held at 3:50 for about   20 minutes.

If this made you smile for even a brief second, please rise   to the occasion and take time to pass it on and share that smile with someone   else who may be having a crumby day and kneads it.
