Amerikanischer Humor

Irgendwie dreht sich der amerikanische Humor oftmals um zwei Dinge: Essen und Sex.
Hier ein Beispiel für Essen:

"Dear Friends:
  It is with the saddest heart that I have to pass on the
  following.  Please join me in remembering a great icon.
  Veteran Pillsbury spokesperson, The Pillsbury Doughboy, died
  yesterday of a severe yeast infection and complications from
  repeated pokes to the belly.  He was 71.  Doughboy was buried in
  a slightly greased coffin.  Dozens of celebrities turned out,
  including Mrs Butterworth, the California Raisins, Hungry Jack,
  Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkees, Captain Crunch and many
  others.  The grave side was piled high with flours as longtime
  friend,  Aunt Jemima, delivered the eulogy, describing 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
  many 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 even still, as a crusty old man, was
  considered a roll model for millions.  Toward the end it was
  thought he'd raise once again, but he was no tart.  Doughboy is
  survived by his second wife, Play Dough.  They have two children
  and one in the oven.  The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20
  minutes."
