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.
