It is with the saddest heart we pass on the following:
Please join me in remembering a great icon- the veteran Pillsbury spokesman. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and 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 Captian Crunch. The gravesite was piled high with flours.
Long-time friend, Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy, describing Doghboy 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 conidered a very "smart" cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he even still, as a crusty old man, was considered a roll model for millions. Towad the end it was thought he would rise again, but he was no tart.
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 350 degrees for about twenty minutes.

So sad. I've modelled my entire bodybuilding career after him.
