Just got this in my email

It is with saddest heart that I pass on the following news.Please join me 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 is survived by his wife, Play Dough, two children, John Dough and Jane Dough, who has a bun in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.

​

Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, TheCalifornia 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 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.

​

The funeral was held at3:50 for about 20 minutes

I LOVE the PBDB... so sad.

OK... question... is it just me, or does anyone else jump out of their skin every time the Pillsbury can 'pops'? I can't open one of those without scaring myself!

I must admit I jump. I try not to have the rolls unless someone is here to open the darn thing. I really try to get DM to handle the unpleasant tasks since she doesn't see well but she can't find the seam

A farmer named Clyde had a car accident. In court, the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning Clyde.
Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine,'" asked the
lawyer.

Clyde responded, "Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite mule, Nellie, into the..."

"I didn't ask for any details", the lawyer interrupted. "Just answer the question? Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine!'?

Clyde said, "Well, I had just got Nellie into the trailer and I was
driving down the road...."

The lawyer interrupted again and said, "Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question."

By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Clyde's answer and said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favorite mule, Nellie".

Clyde thanked the Judge and proceeded, "Well as I was saying, I had just loaded Nell, my favorite mule, into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Nellie was thrown into the other I was hurting, real bad and didn't want to move.

However, I could hear ole Nellie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans. Shortly after the accident a Highway Patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Nellie moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her, he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes.

Then the Patrolman came across the road, gun in hand, looked at me, and said "How are you feeling?"
"Now what the hell would you say?"

Jim, you're stirring that pot again. It's been raining and cloudy all week. Seems like a good weekend for a bottle of Banfi.

Hey, it's Valentines Day too! Or close enough.

Hey, How you dooin'???

 

[scuba diver]

Hey, How you dooin'???

You talking to me?

I hope not!

Stopped at Sam's on the way home tonight and found a bottle of Centine (a bottle of red) from Banfi. Thought it was worth a try. I'll let you know.

I am going to the races tomorrow night with our neighbors and we tried to figure out how to get Banfi in. Gave up and am taking Port instead. Probably a good choice since it is going to be cold.
