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?

. Shouldn't this come with a government warning?
. I do hope he is not dead, the world would be a poorer place.
