Anyone ever find a pearl while eating oysters?

We had an oyster lunch today @ Anthony's which is between Seattle and Tacoma and I nearly chomped down on a pearl, its BB size but I guess its pretty rare.

Yeh, we get them sometimes from Gulf oysters. If you ask at an oyster house they usually have a cigar box of them stashed somewhere. They're not much to look at -- usually a lustrous grey and odd-shaped. Look like a dollop of a molten plastic toy.

Before I release my innuendo, ...

I'm definietly guessing here, The whole Gulf is a low energy environment as compared to the west coast so we get a lot more sedimentation and a lot less oxidation.. Gulf of Mexico pearls are probably derived from the mucky sediment and layered by the dissolved minerals from the estuaries.

They said "never" and were somewhat impressed, the manager asked in a round about way about the possibility of a broken tooth, I told him I'm good to go and he responded with a huge ****** bloody mary, which washed the oysters down nicely. The pearl was deep white I bet it would have been anice one someday.

It seems you are obsessed with hot dogs lately. I hope all is well.
