There's entirely too little punning going on around here, and I for one will
not tolerate it any longer. Take this:
It is with the saddest heart that I pass on the following
news. Please join me in remembering a great icon - the
veteran Pillsbury Spokesman. The Pillsbury Doughboy died
yesterday of a yeast infection and 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
gravesite was piled high with flours.
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 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 roll
model for millions. Toward the end it was thought he would
rise again, but alas, he was no tart.
Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough, two
children, John Dough and Jane Dough, plus one in the oven.
He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.
The funeral was held at 3:50 for about twenty minutes.
