A couple attending an art exhibition stared at a portrait that had them completely confused.
The painting depicted three very black men, sitting on a park bench, naked. Two of the figures had black penises, but the one in the middle had a pink *****.
The African-American curator of the gallery realized that they were having trouble interpreting the painting and offered his assessment. He explained how it depicted the emasculation of African-Americans in a predominately white, patriarchal society.
"In fact," he pointed out, "some serious critics believe that the pink ***** also reflects the cultural and sociological oppression experienced by men in contemporary society."
After the curator left, a Scottish man 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 chap who painted it," he replied.
"In fact, no African-Americans are depicted at all. They're merely three Scottish coal-miners. The only difference is that the guy in the middle went home for lunch."
