Obituary: Pillsbury Doughboy
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. The 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 “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.

Camden County RSVP would
like to thank Pinnacle Foods,
located in Cherry Hill, NJ for
their continued support of our
Annual Food Drive

Food & Toy Drive ( Decem-

Donations support
grandparents raising their
grandchildren with additional
food and gifts during the
holidays. During the last
holiday season, we were able
to serve over 65 families in
Camden county!
We would also like to thank
the RSVP volunteers at New
Mickle Baptist Church in
Camden who graciously
assisted with sorting and
packing bags of food for delivery.
Last but not least, we would like
to thank the phenomenal team of
delivery drivers who made
certain that all deliveries went
out and reached the homes of
families in time for the holidays.
You answered the call of giving
and we could not have done it
without you!
