The Art Gallery

A couple attending an art exhibition at the National gallery was staring

at a portrait that had them completely confused.



The painting depicted three very black and totally naked men sitting on

a park bench. Two of the figures had black weenies,

but the one in the middle had a pink weenie.



The curator of the gallery realized that they were having trouble 
interpreting the

painting and offered his assistance.  He went on for nearly half an hour

explaining how it depicted the sexual emasculation

of African Americans in a predominately white, patriarchal society...



"In fact," he pointed out, "some serious critics believe

that the pink weenie also reflects the cultural and sociological

oppression experienced by gay men in contemporary society."



After the curator left, a young man in a Kentucky T-shirt approached

the couple and said, "Would you like to know what the painting is really 
about?



"Now why would you claim to be more of an expert than the curator of the

gallery?" asked the couple.

"Because I'm the guy who painted it," he replied.



 "In fact, There are no African Americans depicted at all. They're just 
three

Kentucky Coal miners, and the guy in the middle went home for lunch.
