Sad News
Join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from being repeatedly poked 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. Born and bread in
Minnesota, 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 lived to
be a crusty old man and was considered a
positive roll model for millions.
Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough,
three children: John Dough, Jane Dough and
Dosey 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.
P. S.: If this made you smile for even a brief second,
please rise to the occasion and take time to pass it
on and share that smile with someone else that
may be having a crumby day and kneads a lift.

Ok Pete!
The Pillsbury Doughboy is alive and well and lives in Chicago, where he was born and raised, In fact he just wrote a book.
Actually the "Doughboy" is JoBe Cerny and he was my college fraternity brother. He played a desk clerk in the movie "Somewhere in Time" along with many commercials and movies.
So you have been fact checked and caught doing bad reporting.....but Toni the Tiger did pass away. ( good luck reporting that one)

I had also heard of the demise of Capt'n Crunch and General Mills. A cereal killer is suspected.

Toast to you, Pete. Clearly the Doughboy was no crumb. I remember well our days when we used to jam in Hell's kitchen. He ultimately got spread too thin and for a time was completely burned out. He spent a year at the Cresents re hab. His return was a clam-bake highlighted by bouquets of flour, where he met and later had an affair with one of the Keebler girls. It was an unfortunate move which resulted in him being treed by Mr Keebler and being pelted with wheat shot from guns. The flake was really frosted and had it not been for Tony, P might have ended up in a shallow pie pan.
