A Canadian dentist paid $31,000 for a tooth pulled out of John Lennon's mouth more than 40 years ago.

The molar was expected to go for half that amount, but Michael Zuk wouldn't be denied. He plans to display the tooth in his office.

"Some people will think it's gross, others will be fascinated by it," Zuk said.

The biter was handed down to Dorothy "Dot" Jarlett when she worked as Lennon's housekeeper at his home in Surrey, according to her son Barry. Jarlett was employed between 1964 and 1968, when giving teeth to the help was all the rage among the world's most famous rockers.

Probably didn't even put a dent in his fortune he probably makes as a dentist.

personally i think the publicity alone would garner enough new patients that the tooth would eventually pay for itself. not to mention it in itself is a cool thing to own as well. its like a history professor who was able to purchase lincoln's top hat to display in his office or something.
