The Pillsbury Dough Boy Funeral
|
The Pillsbury Dough boy died yesterday of a yeast infection and
complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was only 71.
Dough
boy 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, as long-time friend Aunt Jemima
delivered the eulogy, describing Dough boy as a man who never knew how much he
was kneaded.
Dough
boy 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, as a crusty old man,
was considered a roll model for millions.
Toward
the end it was thought that he would rise again.
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
