I missed the long history of the whale penis on IOTD. I assume someone mentioned the bar stools on Aristotle Onassis' yacht?

"Perhaps the most famous spot on board, John F. Kennedy first met Sir Winston Churchill in Ari's Bar in 1957... The circular bar itself was originally crafted from the timbers of a Spanish Galleon, wound with heavy sailing rope and is adorned with footrests and handholds of ornately carved whales' teeth... The barstools are covered in whale foreskin, a fact that Onassis delighted in telling his guests."
