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, 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.

ok that's funny

Great, now I have to go out for pastries in the morning.

That was great !
We must be at that time between this years trip and planning for next year :)

very nice, i think i'll have another dough nut.

Any idea how much dough he left behind for his family ?

I'll miss his little giggle the most. :(

What you may not be aware of is that he was at one time wanted for attempted murder in Little Rock (I think):

A woman in Arkansas was sitting in her car in a parking lot last year when she heard a loud bang and then felt a sharp pain in the back of her head. She was holding her hands behind her head when someone walked by and asked, "Are you OK?"

The woman answered, "I've been shot in the head, and I'm holding my brains in."

Well, it wasn't her brains.

It was dough. A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded in the back seat, apparently from the heat, making a loud explosion and shooting the dough into the back of the woman's head.

The D.A. decided not to press charges.

My wife and I are inveterate punsters and this got us both ROFL. She's been looking for work lately, so she really kneaded it. It got quite a rise out of her.

Doughnut know when I'll stop laughing.

That was good. Thanks for sharing.

Wa-hoo!

Thanks needed that this morning.

Had to share it on another site and they are getting a kick out of this as well.

I thought that was his screen name before I clicked on it :)

This is so old I forgot to laugh.
