Sad day

Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community.
The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma 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.
Born and bread in Minnesota, Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with 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 was still a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions.
Doughboy is survived by his wife PlayDough, three children: John Dough, Jane Dough and Dosey 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.

We drove up to Tenn. from Fla. last night.
Sad day for all.
Sent from my I-phone.
R.I.P.
Man, It's always hard to hang up a collar....
He was retired AirForce and a mean old fart,
but he was MY mean ol fart.
He left his stuff to me "less bank stuff" along with the keys and a legal note at the park office.
I guess us not raising his rent and some help we gave him went a long way.
He was dying and could not clean the place up and had no security deposit with us.
I can get twice the rent and no * chewings,but I wish we still had him.
Now for the insult to injury.
Picked up the keys & document at the office and the lady said his daughter had been there to pick up a few things.....[?]
He has no daughter,
just one son out of state which he disowned.
His son cashed in the airline tickets that the old man sent him while on his death bed.[V]
He just wanted to see his son one more time.
The kicker, he left me his .45 and guess what?
His sister took it.
He hated her.
She had some scribbling on paper which she claimed was his last will.
He was on morphine,so who knows.
In the state of Texas this has wieght.
She said she would be back in a few weeks for the rest of his stuff.
105 degrees there today.
Had to clean it up without any air cond,his sis hit the freon line moving a large chair out.
$250. later and after the work I did was finished I have ac again.[:)]
Guess she wont find much left,
as the welfare suckers were picking it up
off the curb as I was leaving.
Going back tommorrow to do some TLC.
Some days just don't pay to get up.
BTW
I witnessed a fatal traffic accident yesterday while going to the PO box.[:(]
Bill was 91 and served in Normandy. His son passed away a few years back from the effects of Agent Orange in Vietnam.
He was a master carpenter and the best trim man I ever knew. A shop stewart in his union. He helped me remodel my house and we shot together in NY and at Lyman's Blue Trail Range in CT.
He was a giant who walked amongist us. Well done Bill. Rest in Peace and I shall miss you terribly old friend.
Pretty good... [;)]
