I came across this today as I was sorting out some things. See if you can get the jokes that are in this obituary for the Pillsbury Doughboy. I didn't write this by the way. I wish I had, it's pretty funny.
Obituary for the Pillsbury Doughboy:
It is with the saddest heart that I must pass the following news. Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment industry.
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. 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 fill with turnovers. H was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a bit flakey at times, as a crusty old man he was considered a roll model for millions.
Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough, and his children John 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.
