My dad sent me this email today, and I thought I would share the news on with you..........
SAD PASSING
Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment
community. The Pillsbury Dough-boy died yesterday of a yeast infection and
trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.
Dough-boy 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 Dough-boy
as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Born and bread in
Minnesota, Dough-boy 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 and was considered a positive roll
model for millions.
Dough-boy is survived by his wife Play Dough, three children: John
Dough, Jane Dough and Dosey 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
that may be having a crumby day and kneads a lift.
