Oh, I'm Sorry. Here, Have A Pearl.

Reading my email, I was surprised to see that often pearls are given for an apology, at least from one particular site: thepearloutlet.com. They sell jewelry and apparently have found a market niche that I wasn't aware existed for pearls, specifically. (Generally I think the "I'm sorry" gift is big diamonds, etc., as this is the behavior generally exhibited by celebrities when they've screwed up.)

This was not the purpose of the email (it's a Fortune newsletter) but, for me, it was the most intriguing part!
