In a pleasant surprise, an Italian businessman discovered five pearls worth 2,000 euros inside an oyster he ordered at a restaurant.
Giuseppe Di Bianco, an executive at Poste Italiane in Italy, found the gems at Nonna Maria restaurant in Salerno, Italy.
Di Bianco, who was out on a date with his girlfriend, called up the restaurant and asked the manager to prepare some clams ahead of their visit, only to be told there were none in stock, 'The Local' reported.
Di Bianco then pleaded with the manager to replenish supplies, saying he had promised his girlfriend.
According to the 'Il Mattino' newspaper, the manager then brought fresh oysters from the nearby fish market.
The couple was served their oysters and when Di Bianco opened one of them, he found five pearls inside which could be worth around 2,000 euros, the report said.
Is he happy, or did he break a tooth? /S
I’ll bet that Fish Market doesn’t have any more Oysters in it stock.
I was once told that oysters would really enhance my sex life, but I kept chafing myself on the shells.
That’s even worse than smoking after sex!
I found a small pearl in an oyster once. It was nowhere near gem quality. This Story I find suspicious.................
You’re supposed to remove the shells before having sex with the oysters...................
My Uncle once found a pearl in an oyster. It was about the size of an 00 buck shot. I have no idea what he ever did with it.
Standing in line at a seafood buffet in Gretna, Louisiana, a friend of mine, Cajun through and through, was in line ahead of me. After he took some oysters, I jokingly asked him if it was true what they said about oysters. “Nah,” he responded. “I ate a dozen of ‘em once......Only nine of ‘em worked.”
Lol!
I'll have what he's having.
2000 euros for 5 pearls? Hard to believe. Pearls just aren’t that expensive.
