**Big Oil Blamed in Wrongful Death Lawsuit Linked to Heat Wave and Woman’s Passing**
In a shocking turn of events that has left the world scratching its collective head, a wrongful death lawsuit has been filed against Big Oil, claiming that the recent heat wave was not just a natural phenomenon, but a calculated plot by oil companies to fry us all like bacon on a summer sidewalk. The lawsuit was initiated by the family of Mildred “Mildy” McFluff, a 78-year-old grandmother who tragically passed away during the sweltering heat.
Mildy’s grandson, Chad “The Heatwave Whisperer” McFluff, stated, “My grandma was a tough cookie, but even she couldn’t handle the heat. I mean, she survived three heart attacks, but this heat wave? It was like being trapped in a sauna with a bunch of angry raccoons!”
The lawsuit alleges that Big Oil’s relentless pursuit of profits has led to climate change, which in turn caused the heat wave that ultimately led to Mildy’s demise. “It’s like they’re trying to turn the planet into a giant oven,” said attorney Sue Flay, who is representing the McFluff family. “If they can fry an egg on the sidewalk, they can fry a grandma!”
In a statement that has left many scratching their heads, a spokesperson for Big Oil, who wished to remain anonymous but insisted on being called “Captain Crude,” said, “We’re not responsible for the weather! If we were, we’d have made it rain money instead of heat waves. Besides, have you tried our new ‘Sizzling Summer’ oil? It’s perfect for barbecues!”
As the lawsuit gains traction, experts are divided. Dr. Sunny Day, a climate scientist, commented, “While it’s true that climate change is real, blaming Big Oil for a heat wave is like blaming your toaster for burning your toast. It’s just not how it works!”
Meanwhile, the McFluff family is determined to take their case to court, hoping to win enough money to fund a new line of air conditioners that they plan to name “Mildy’s Cool Breeze.” As for Captain Crude, he’s reportedly working on a new marketing campaign: “Big Oil: We’re not responsible for your grandma’s heat stroke, but we can help you fry an egg!”
