At the National Art Gallery in Cardiff , 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 dicks, but The one in the middle had a pink one.
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 black men in a predominately White, patriarchal society. "In fact," he pointed out, "some serious critics believe that the pink dick also reflects the cultural and sociological oppression experienced by gay men in contemporary Society."
After the curator left, a Welshman, 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 boyo who painted it!" he replied. "In fact, there are no Black men depicted at all. They're just three Welsh miners. Him in the middle went home for lunch."
