The art gallery (Cleanish)

At the National Art Gallery in New York 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 willy. The curator of the gallery realised 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 African Americans 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, a Yorkshire man, approached the couple and said,

Would thee like to know what t'paintings really bout?"

"Now why would you claim

to be more of an expert than the curator of the
gallery?" asked the couple.

"Cos I'm the chap who painted it," he replied.

"In fact, there's no African Americans in it at all. They're just three
Yorkshire coal miners. The guy in the middle went home for lunch."
