That took some explaining.

"It's the clam's heart. So see those ladies wearing pearls? Clam murderers." -- nm - JaxSean May 8, 18:25 8
- Does removing the pearl kill the clam? I assume so, but have never really known. -- nm - the liioulu with May 8, 18:26 7
  - almost all pearls come from OYSTERS -- nm - peglegpete May 8, 18:27 6
    - and yes, cultured pearls are extracted from oysters and the oyster is then 'reseeded' to make another pearl. -- nm - peglegpete May 8, 18:28 4
      - and virtually all pearls now are cultured. -- nm - mafic May 8, 18:33 1
        
        I blame the internet. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 8, 18:34
      - And fresh water ones come from mussels. But that does answer my question. -- nm - the liioulu with May 8, 18:30 1
        
        If the mussel makes it's first pearl I give it back to him. -- nm - Bacon May 8, 18:31
    - *doh!* -- nm - the liioulu with May 8, 18:28
clams do make pearls, but infrequently. clam pearls are scarce and very expensive -- nm - peglegpete May 8, 18:14
Then try explaining why mom wears them. -- nm - The Incredible Budice May 8, 18:14 8

  - You go sit in the corner and think about what you did, Bacon. nm - ralph wiggum May 8, 18:17 6
    - LOL -- nm - JenBro May 8, 21:56
    - Yes Maam. -- nm - Bacon sitting in the corner thinking May 8, 18:18 4
      - Ahhhhh! Don't think about *that*! And put that thing away! nm - ralph wiggum May 8, 18:19 3
        
        too late!! -- nm - Bacon sitting in the corner thinking May 8, 18:21 2
        
        *leaves the room* -- nm - Fat Chef May 8, 18:26 1
        
        (It's the joke that keeps on giving.) nm - ralph wiggum May 8, 18:31
Heh, nice -- nm - Beryllium May 8, 18:10
Clam irritants. -- nm - the liioulu with May 8, 18:06
