Day 61 (305) – Role Model

Track 9: Role Model (why do I have a track listed?)

I think it’s important that everyone have a role model.  I know how much my role models have helped me to model my various roles…  And to me, there is no greater role model than the Pillsbury Doughboy.

You see, the Pillsbury Doughboy is the definition of a role model, he is, in fact, a “roll” model.  (Ya get it?   You see… He’s made of dough… and he’s Pillsbury’s mascot…)  And not only does he fit the pun, he’s also has some admirable qualities:

• When you poke him, he doesn’t file a sexual harassment suit.  Instead he appreciates the gesture and responds accordingly.  That shows he has commitment to his company and plays well with others.
• He has no problem being a part of company that is in the business of selling his brethren to be cooked and eaten by the masses.   That shows he is willing to make sacrifices for the good of all humankind.
• He’s rich.  He is actually made of “dough.”  That shows that he’s successful, and that he’s ok with having material things.  Sure money can’t buy happiness, but at least it makes being sad more fun.

So there you have it, everyone should have a role model.  And if you don’t have one currently, who better than Mr. Doughboy?
