DEAD at 71
Found this sad news and thought it should be shared,
Veteran Pillsbury spokesman, 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 longtime 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. Still, even as a crusty old man, he
was a roll model for millions.
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.
