Pillsbury Doughboy Dies from Servere Yeast Infection

Veteran Pillsbury spokesman, The Pillsbury Doughboy, died yesterday of a
severe yeast infection and complications from repeated pokes to the belly.
He was 71.
Doughboy was buried in one of the largest funeral ceremonies in recent
years. Dozens of celebrities turned out, including Mrs.Butterworth, the
California Raisins, Hungry Jack, Betty Crocker, The Hostess Twinkees,
Captain Crunch.

The graveside was piled high with flours as longtime friend, Aunt Jemima,
delivered the eulogy. She described the Doughboy as a man who never knew how
much he was kneaded.

Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his life lately was filled with
many turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of
his dough on half-baked schemes. Still, even as a crusty old man, he was a
roll model for millions. Doughboy is survived by his second wife, Play
Dough. They have two children and one in the oven.

The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.
