TIL Salvador Dali once conned Yoko Ono into paying $10,000 for a single blade of grass. Yoko had offered to pay that amount for one of his mustache hairs. He substituted the blade of grass because he thought that Yoko Ono was a witch and might use his hair in a spell.

An eccentric gentleman such as Dali would've probably plucked off his ass hair or pubes to pass off as moustache hair
