Subject: A Celebrity Passing
It is with the saddest heart that we must pass on the following news:
Please join us in remembering a great icon of the entertainment
community.
The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and
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. At the Pillsbury-al, his 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. Doughboy 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 still, as a
crusty old man, was considered a roll model for millions.
Doughboy 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 20 minutes.

Just about anything (except maybe a root canal or passing a kidney stone) is more enjoyable than studying for an EMT class.
