View Full Version : This is just a bit bizarre.

You old goats probably remember pics of Jackie O on The Christina. It was Aristotle Onassis' big fancy yacht.
I watched a show last night about yachts, and it was on there.
Turns out when Aristotle died it was donated to the Greek President's office. They didn't use it at all and it slipped into disrepair.
Recntly a friend of the Onassis family had the boat refurbished to it's original glory.
Now the bizarre part...
The bar is gorgeous. It's got stools all around the bar, and they are decorated with whale teeth and rope. The teeth actually stick out to rest your feet on.
They had to recover the seats. When they did, they covered the old covers, but left them in tact. The reason they did this is because the old seat covers were made from whale foreskins.
Ya. Whale foreskins. I can't make this stuff up.
Now, my question is this...
Why? Are there not enough elephant foreskins to go around?

Yeah, but there are more Jewish whales than Jewish elephants, so the whale foreskins were easier to attain.

Just imagine sitting on one of those stools, enjoying your favorite drink and maybe a fine cigar and then thinking about some poor whale swimming around in that cold water without his foreskin!
The thought might make me move to the sofa :)

You'd think they'd have a hole in them. That's all I'm saying.

Well considering a whale penis can be 20 feet long I am pretty sure that the foreskin is big enough for more than one stool.

That is quite probably the coolest quote I have ever seen on the internet. :tu
You just don't hear that every day, ya know? ;)

Now that you mention it, I have to agree.

I saw that episode too and thought the same thing! What an odd thing to use for furniture. You just have to be careful not to move around too much on stools. :r

What I want to know (OK, maybe I don't want to know) is WHO woke up one morning and said "I think I'll make a bar stool out of a whale foreskin..."
Not exactly something I would think of, that's for sure!

Whale foreskin is the new elephant foreskin. Keep this in mind when planning any decorating.

Hell, I remember her in the White House.
Anyone know where I can get some whale foreskin? I'm thinking of remodeling the bathroom and a whale foreskin toilet seat would be just the ticket! ;)

I'd be careful with the toilet seat idea....you might accidentally over excite the seat by moving around too much and then it's game over man. ;)

So, instead of neatsfoot oil, do you treat these with smegma?

Should we be scared that you know this?

Yeah, on second thought probably not a good idea. I'd get the blame every time the seat was up.............
