Saw obituaries in the news and =
brought a tear to the eye.
(1) Jacob Hall, inventor of throat =
lozenges, has died. Arrangements are pending, but it is assumed =
there will be no coffin at his funeral.
(2) =
John =
Hokey, creator of the Hokey Pokey dance craze. Thousands =
showed up for his funeral, all coming to bid him farewell. As the =
ceremony was about to begin, when the undertaker gently lifted John to =
arrange his body in the coffin, as soon as they put his right foot in, =
there was a problem . . . (I’m sure you can figure out the =
rest.)
(3) =
The Pillsbury =
Doughboy died last week 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. His grave 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 350 for about 20 minutes.
