Let's remember........

Please join me in remembering a great icon, the Pillsbury Doughboy who died yesterday of a yeast infection and complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.

He 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.

A long time friend, Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy, describing him as 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 flakey at times and later a crusty old man, he was considered a roll model for millions. Toward the end, it was thought he would rise again, but alas, he was no tart.

Dough Boy 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.

Very interesting. Dough boy marries an inedible person.

I'm glad no one mentioned that sordid affair with Aunt Jemima a few years back, and little "flap" Jack...

How could you do it Keith?

Having to cope with the lack of comfort food due to your diet plus only 2 fags a day, I must say it has been quite a feast writing that piece of cake and pure suffering unless some one did it for you !!!!

If the funeral lastet 20 minutes it must have been at 200°F and the coffin on the lower part.
