The Pillsbury Dough Boy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications arising from repeated belly pokes. He was 71.

Mr. Fresh 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 Mr. Fresh as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Mr. Fresh rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered to be a very smart cookie, and wasted much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a bit flaky at times, he was still a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions.

Mr. Fresh is survived by his wife, Play Dough, and two children, John Dough and Jane Dough; his wife had a third 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.

He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.

I thought that Pop Tart was his sister, also known as Britney.

I confess that the yeast product spokesmodel is not the first image that comes to mind when I hear "Pillsbury Doughboy." This is the widespread and not-so-affectionate nickname of a politically powerful university president at a campus where I used to have a parking card.

I didn't know that a male could die of a yeast infection...

As Dr. McCoy said when Ensign DoughBoy was burned in a transporter malfunction: "He's bread, Jim."

Perhaps I am overlooking the sarcafont here, given the overall subject matter of this post but if not then indeed they can. Not from the source you are probably thinking of but it can most assuredly happen!
