A couple attending an art exhibition at the National gallery were 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

Can't say I was expecting that ending.

HAHAHAHA that is so funny especially since my school is hosting a display of some truly monstrously ugly art right now and trying to pass it off as some sort of social commentary.

I originally heard the joke as it portrayed West Virginians. Good one though.
