FOR YOUR INFORMATION . . . . At the present time, with all the problems in the world, simple things are often overlooked. So it is with sadness that we pass the following news item to you: The great American icon, the Pillsbury spokesman, the Pilsbury Doughboy, died last week of a yeast infections and complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71. The 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 as longtime friend, Aunt Jemima, delivered the eulogy, describing 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, even as a crusty old man, he was considered a roll model for millions. Toward the end it was though he would rise again but alas he was no t art. 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 elder father, Pop Tart. The Funeral was held at 3:50 for about twenty minutes.
