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. Buttersworth, Hungry 
Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, and the Hostess Twinkies... 
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 considered a very smart cookie, but wasted much of his dough  
on  half-baked schemes.  Despite being a little flaky at times, he still 
was  a crusty old man and was considered 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 minutes.
