Sad News

            It is with the saddest heart that I must pass on the following
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 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 was
still a crusty old man and was considered a 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 dad, Pop Tart.  The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes
