My gran had a wine bottle topper depicting Mannikin Pis proudly displayed in her formal china cupboard. It bookended nicely with the firemen cheesecake calendar in the kitchen.*

*If you’ve ever read the Discworld novels and encountered Nanny Ogg- you’ve pretty much met my gran.

I haven’t so not sure what you mean but my grandmother (and her cousins) all grew up in Indian Territory in the late 1800s. My gran thought that the show Oklahoma was too racy. We couldn’t argue with her because she had lived it and was there when Oklahoma became a state. Now my adopted granddaughter’s birth granny was a biker chick from Sturgis complete with tattoos.
