Have  U  heard  the  news   ??




It is with the saddest heart that I have to pass on the following news.



Please join me in remembering a great icon. Veteran Pillsbury spokesperson, The

Pillsbury Doughboy, died yesterday of a severe yeast infection and complications

from repeated pokes to the belly. He was 69 .





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. 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, as he wasted much of his

dough on half-baked schemes.





Despite being a little flaky at times, even as a crusty old man he was

considered a roll model for millions. Toward the end it was thought he'd rise

once again, but he was no tart.



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.
