It is with great sadness that we report the passing of the Pillsbury Doughboy. The cause of his death was from a yeast infection and trauma from repeated pokes in his belly. He was seventy-one (71).

Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin, with the gravesite piled high with flours.

Dozens of celebrities, such as Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, The Hostess Twinkies, Uncle Ben and Capt. Crunch, turned out to pay their respects. Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded.

Born and raised in Minnesota, Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with lots of turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being flakey at times, he was still a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions.

Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough, and his three children: John Dough, Jane Dough, and Dosey Dough. He and his wife also had one in the oven. He is also survived by his father, Pop Tart. The funeral was held at 350 for about 20 minutes.

This is so awesome! I love it! Did you write it @novamc1? Would it be possible to share it?

[novamc1]

No, I can't take credit for more than laughing while copying and posting it here.

It appeared on our local Next Door website.  Don't know where it might have originated.

Very clever.

[novamc1]

Equally punny responses have since appeared on the Next Door website from local folks.

Such as........

<<Don't know about Uncle Ben being at the funeral.  Rumor has it that he was spotted with Betty Crocker at the nearby Howard Johnson's.>>

<<Where was Mr. Peanut?>>

<<I saw him at the funeral.  He was seated next to Ol' Jolly Rancher>>

Also, from what I gather from some people who know the original poster, he created the obit and often creates good posts.

Read this to DH, whose comment was "It doesn't take much to humor you, does it?"  But he snickered.
