The art exibit:

An older couple, at an art exhibition, were staring at a painting that 
had them completely confused.
The painting depicted three black men totally naked sitting on a park 
bench.
Two of the figures had black penises, but the one in the middle had a 
pink penis.
They asked the curator of the gallery for an interpretation.
He explained how it represented the sexual emasculation of 
African-Americans in predominately white, patriarchal society.
"In fact," he said, "Some serious critics believe that the pink penis also
reflects the cultural oppression experienced by gay men in contemporary
society.“

After the curator left, a man with a noticeable maritime accent approached
the couple and said, "Would yous' like to know what the painting is really
all about?"

“How & why" asked the couple, "could you claim or be more of an expert 
than the curator of this gallery?"

"Because I'm the guy who painted it," he replied. " In fact, there's no
African-Americans shown here at all.

“They're just t
ree Cape Breton coal-miners. The guy in the middle went
home for lunch"
