Sorry to be the one to tell you...

> It is with the saddest heart that I have to pass on the following. Please
> join me in remembering a great icon. Veteran Pillsbury spokesperson, 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 a slightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out,
> including Mrs. Butterworth, the California Raisins, Hungry Jack, Betty
> Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, Captain Crunch and many others. 
> The graveside
> was piled high with flours as longtime friend, Aunt Jemima, delivered the
> eulogy, describing 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 many 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. 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.
