Smile Mergers

Howdy All,
With all the talk of the car company mergers here are some to look for in the future;
Xerox & Wurlitzer ( they're going to make reproductive organs)
Polygram Records, Warner Brothers & Keebler (new name will be Poly-Warner-Cracker)
John Deere & Abitibi-Price (new name will be Deere Abi)
Grey Poupon & Dockers Pants (new name will be Poupon Pants)
Knott's Berry Farm & The National Organization For Women (new name will be Knott NOW)

I guess it's where everyone's headed now. Increasing efficiency, output, etc. Economies of Scale I guess....
oh well... I hope quality doesn't start falling.

Howdy John,
Just like the merger between the yo-yo company and the boomarang company it would have eventually come to me

As a result of the General Mill's purchase of Pillsbury... the paper ran this obit

Obituary for the Pillsbury Doughboy



It is with the saddest heart that we must pass on the following news. Please join 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. He 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, Captain Crunch and King Arthur.
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 to be a very smart cookie, wasting most of his dough on half baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he still as a crusty old man was considered as a roll model by millions.
Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough, and his two children, John Dough and Jane Dough, and another one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.
The funeral was at 3:50 and lasted about 20 minutes.
