In a way, it's like the system teaches thinks like Will the Bard or Chaucer. Every single comedy Will wrote is basically a long dick joke, and I swear that none of those stupid teachers ever actually read the Canterbury tales. "I'd rather hang my bugle in an invisible baldric..." Even the name of that play, "Much Ado About Nothing" is a dirty joke, FFS. "Nothing" was Elizabethan slang for lady bits. If our school system weren't as Victorian, students would be far more interested in learning.
Heck yes for both! Good Olde Will had a problem with puns (also for him is even more stupid to ignore the dick jokes, you're erasing the fact that he was writing for both aristocracy AND the commoners, and was great because he managed to entertain both at the same time). Same for Dante who wrote a self-insert fic with his hero Virgil who likes him a lot, where he can complain all he wants of people who did him wrong and say how cool he is and describe FARTS! It can be said of all history and literature and art: we've always been a quirky species with a perk for awful humour in serious places, it's really a pity when high art gets taken seriously... It just makes it unnecessarily boring.
