Arrow Very sad news
Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community.
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 gravesite 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, 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.

If your having a crumbly day and knead a lift, I hope this made you smile for even a brief second.

RIP Doughboy

This could be offensive to persons with yeast infections...

O my heart has been broken into pieces

I kneaded him in so many ways of my life

He would RISE higher then my expectations

Now there is POP TART who is left.I do not care much for him

Maybe Captain Chrunch can make him walk the plank of the toaster
push him in and leave him there till all of his insides bubble out.

NO MORE POP TART
