Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community.
The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection, and complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.
Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough, two children, John Dough and Jane Dough, who has a bun in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.
Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Buttersworth, 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, as a crusty old man, was considered a roll model for millions.
The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes. 
And before I start getting a bunch of emails on this, no I did not write this. I got in in a email from a friend of mine.

That took a lot of crust to post. Glad to see you rose to the occasion.

Sorry Snap, Crackle and Pop could be there. They were done in by a cereal killer.

I believe Pop Tart had a sister, living in France, who was quite angry that Doughboy had passed. She was quite a cross-aunt.

What about the stay puff marshmellow man? Did he not go to the funeral because if he got all fired up… he would melt under the heat. Nobody ever toasts to him at events, but did he toast the dough boy on his lifes accomplishments?
