Pillsbury Doughboy Killed By Skittish, Broom-Wielding Housewife

BOWIE, MD–Kenneth Fresh, 34, son of original Pillsbury doughboy Marv “Poppin’” Fresh, was killed Monday when a startled housewife beat him to death with a broom. “I was sweeping the kitchen floor and lamenting our family’s usual humdrum breakfast biscuits when I heard a strange, high-pitched voice directly behind me,” said a shaken Debbie Combs, 44. “All he could say was ’Try my new flaky Cres–’ before my instincts took over and I pounded him with all my might.” Rescue workers frantically poked Fresh for nearly 20 minutes in an effort to revive the doughboy, but were unsuccessful.
