Art


At  the National Art Gallery in Dublin, a husband and wife were staring
at a portrait that had them completely  confused. 
 
The painting depicted three black men  totally naked sitting on a park
bench. 
Two of the  figures had black willies, but the one in the middle had a
pink Willie. 
 
The curator of the  gallery realized that they were having trouble 
interpreting the  painting and offered his assessment. 
 
He went on  for over half an hour explaining how it depicted the
sexual emasculation of black men in a predominately white, patriarchal 
society.

"In fact, " he pointed out, "some serious critics believe that the pink 
Willie 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 guy who painted it," he  replied. 
 
"In fact, there are no black men depicted at all. They're just three 
Irish coal miners. The  guy in the middle went home for  lunch."
