The Pillsbury Doughboy

[MILO]

The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday in Minneapolis of a yeast infection
and traumatic 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.
>
> Born and bread in Minnesota, Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but
> his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not regarded as 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 served as
> a positive roll model for millions.
>
> Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough, three children: John Dough,
> Jane Dough and Dosey 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 min.
>
> If you smiled while reading this, please rise to the occasion and pass it
> on to someone having a crumby day and kneading a lift.

Back in the late '60's, there was a local Saturday late nite TV show called "The Bedtime Newz" with Dave Moore. He was a local TV legend on CBS Channel 4 in Minneapolis. They did a skit one night and the Doughboy ended up in a microwave oven. It got turned on and you watched him through the window swelling up and finally exploding. It was disturbing (for the time) but hilarious.
