Most likely -- testing to continue, just in case.
Yellowstone Fish Safe, But Some Oil Found, read the headline after the Mega-Omni Corp., Inc. crude oil spill.
"No oil was found in meat from dozens of fish taken to our laboratory for testing," said R. J. Suit, spokesman for Mega-Omni Corp., Inc. "Yes, small amounts of crude oil were detected in the livers and gonads of some of the fish," but who eats those anyway?" he continued.
"In summary," Mr. Suit said, "we believe the evidence is clear that any so-called 'contamination' could theoretically harm the health of fish if they insist on staying in the river, but people who catch and eat these fish will be perfectly safe as far as we are concerned. And we prefer to avoid saying 'crude oil'. Let's agree to call it 'Job Creating Free Enterprise Fuel and Lubrication Substances', shall we?"
"We will continue testing fish from the Yellowstone River to be absolutely sure that all is well," he said before returning to the company bunker.
