A bit of Humor

Obit for the dough boy

It is with the saddest heart that I pass on the following. Please
join
me in remembering a great icon.

The Pillsbury Dough boy died yesterday of a yeast infection and
complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was only 71. Dough
boy 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 long-time friend Aunt
Jemima delivered the eulogy, describing Dough boy as a man who never
knew
how
much he was kneaded. Dough boy 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 even
still,as a crusty old man, was considered a roll model for millions.
Toward
the
end it was thought that he would rise again, but alas, he was no tart.

Dough boy 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 3:50 for about twenty minutes.

Is it ok to add a little off the wall humor here?

Absolutely not

. Shouldn't this come with a government warning?

Linda,

Have you read the story where the Pillsbury Dough Boy is wanted for attempted murder? :D Supposedly a true story. Use the Google search engine to find the report. It's on several sites.

I enjoyed the humour. Especially after such a dreary weekend.

I thought the name of his father, Pop Tart, was so funny. Many thanks for the bright spot of my day.

The Doughboy was a childhood playmate. He will be missed.

I know it`s a long time in responding to this but this is showing age in the UK as we haven`t had the Pillsbury ad on tv since the 60`s...but it does make me smile!!

Yes, I've been listening to his infamous quotes, as well. I'm certain the late-night shows and stand-up comics are getting their mileage out of this gem.
