I'm sure you could furnish her with a 'pearl necklace' with consummate ease

As for bad computer puns, I just ignore those

**Provost Harrison** · October 30, 2003, 07:12

I think you need to get back to BASICs on this one mike. I am sure you may spot one if you just go Window shopping. I hear that the best Perl Necklaces come from the Indonesian islands, especially Java

Yeah, there are loads of jewellers around where I could get a Pearl necklace but they are expensive and I think they look a bit crap. More suitable for old people. I don't think it'd suit her.

I assume she means Perl not pearl 'cause when I said I thought that would be expensive she said "not that kind of pearl necklace." and punched me. Anyway she said she wants me to give it to her when I go round tonight. So I need help fast!

Um, er... well, I can think of another sort of "pearl necklace" that you might give her that has nothing to do with either crustraceans or computers. Perhaps that's what she has in mind?

**Provost Harrison** · October 30, 2003, 07:21

Well all you can do is come prepared Mike

Maybe that's it! Thanks. I have to say I don't like the look of it though.

From that site:

$125.00 - This crochet rope necklace is pliable and strong and feels good against the skin. This lariat style necklace can be tied many ways. The beads are czech crocheted on perl cotton. Finished length approximately 35 inches.

Pliable and strong. Good.
Feels good against the skin. Good.
Finished length 35 inches?

That's rather intimidating...

Well, you have to give the lady what she wants

I was under the impression that these necklaces grew more crusty with time. Perhaps not to the extent of a crustracean, but crusty nonetheless.

The best perl necklaces are in cobol blue and ruby red, c?

Forget the Pearl Necklace. Give her a Cleveland Steamer. It's practical and useful.
