Veteran Pillsbury spokesman, The Pillsbury Doughboy, died recently of a severe yeast infection and complications from repeated pokes to the belly.
Doughboy was buried in an elaborate ceremony attended by major celebrities including Mrs. Butterworth, the CA Raiins, Hungry Jack, Bette Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and many others.The graveside was piled high with flours. Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy describing Doughboy as a man whom "never knew how much he was kneaded".
His life was filled with many turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Still, even as a crusty old man, he was a roll model for millions.
Doughboy is survived by his second wife, Play Dough. He leaves two children and one in the oven. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

Not only could Doughboy take the heat - he could always be counted on to rise to the occasion. His was the recipe for a well bread life.

Dear Pillsbury,
My condolences on the loss of The Dough Boy. I know he was just some flour, water and yeast mixed together, but what a mix he was!!!. He will be missed.
