At the National Art Gallery in Dublin, 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 bench.
Two of the figures had black *****es, but the one in the middle had a pink *****. The curator of the gallery realized that they were having trouble interpreting the painting and offered his personal 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 ***** also reflects the cultural and sociological oppression experienced by gay men in contemporary society".
After the curator left, an Irishman 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 am the artist, who painted the picture", he replied. There are no African Americans depicted at all. They're just three Irish coal miners and the guy in the middle went home for lunch."

Back about 26 years ago I ran over a stop sign . I was stalled with dead batteries when the police showed up. Rather than have a collision on my driving record I elected to pay the replacement cost. 2 weeks later they sent an estimate but told me not to pay until they sent the real bill. .....still.waiting ;-)
