Letters from Dell
A Sad Announcement
I'm sorry to say, this is not one of my letters. A friend sent this to me and I knew my readers would want to know about this. Unfortunately, I've yet to find a spiritual application aside from laughter being good for the soul.
I do not know who wrote this, but if
anyone does know, please contact me, so I can give the proper credit.
Thanks.
I would suggest you
get a box of tissue before reading this.

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 very `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.
