Oysters Rock!

March 6, 2008 | Filed Under |

I was supposed to write an oyster joke, but I ended up writing a story about an oyster. An oyster takes his mate out to a fine restaurant because he wants to pop the big question to her. The female oyster comes into the restaurant looking prettier than ever. After an appetizer and the main course the male oyster gets down on one shell and opens himself up to reveal a pearl. The female giggles at the male oyster and tells him that he is silly and he is supposed to give her a diamond not something that he has been brewing in his belly for months. Discouraged he swims back to his seat, and she feels bad so she tells him she will accept his proposal but she wants him to find the rarest rock that he can find in the ocean for her. While she is sleeping he steals her pearl and gives it to her telling her that is the rarest thing he could possibly find, and that was her.

Oysters are awesome you just have to make sure that you are well informed, and cautious when having oysters. There is a great website that helps people be ‘oyster aware’ and it includes facts about Gulf oysters among many other kinds of oysters. Check out the website at www.BeOysterAware.com for information about oysters.
