Old and New Jokes

A couple attending an art exhibition at the National Gallery were staring at a portrait that had them totally confused. The painting depicted three black men totally naked, sitting on a park bench. Two of the men had black penises, but the one seated in the middle, had a pink penis.The curator of the gallery realized the confused couple were having trouble with interpreting the painting and offered his assessment. He went on and on for nearly half an hour explaining how it depicted the
sexual emasculation of African-Americans in a predominantly white, patriarchal society. In fact, he pointed out, some serious critics believe that the pink penis reflects the cultural and sociological
oppression expressed by gay men in a contemporary society.After the curator left, a Scotsman 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 Im the guy who painted it, he replied. In fact, there is no African-American representation at all. Theyre just three Scottish coal-miners. The guy in the middle went home for lunch.
