Got this from a friend:

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 and 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.
