Well, yes, but the Dutch are like that. The word for penis is roobspeeyer, and the anus is called the deykart (man, they hated that guy).
When I was a little kid, our local library had statues and busts of famous authors. The statue of Balzac was a classical pose, nude with a figleaf.
By the time I got around to seeing Music Man, I assumed Balzac must have been one of those people who went onpicnics without wearing any clothes, and certainly scandalous enough to upset Mrs. Shinn.
Same little red-headed boy, though.
