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, totally naked men sitting on a
bench. Two of the figures had black penises, but the one in the middle
had a pink ■■■■■.
The curator of the gallery realized that they were having trouble
interpreting the painting and offered his assessment. He went on for
nearly half an hour explaining how it depicted the ■■■■■■ emasculation
of African-Americans in a predominantly white, patriarchal society.
“In fact,” he pointed out, “some serious art critics believe that the
pink ■■■■■ also reflects the cultural and sociological oppression experienced
by gay men in contemporary society.”
After the curator left, an Irishman 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 artist who painted it," he replied. “In fact, there are
no African-Americans depicted at all. They’re just three Irish coal
miners.
The guy in the middle went home for lunch.”
