Shakespeare Wrote Dick Jokes For Money
Commedia dell'arte, the Fool, and the greatest writer in English hiding filth in iambic pentameter.
Members only.
English teachers have spent 200 years pretending Shakespeare was a serious man. Shakespeare wrote a character named Bottom, gave him a donkey head, and had a fairy queen fall in love with him. He put a pun about 'country matters' in Hamlet and then had Hamlet explain the pun, which is a comedian tagging his own joke because the room was slow.
