An older couple at an art exhibition were staring at a painting that had them 
completely confused.

The painting depicted three well-hung 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
Canadians in a predominately white, patriarchal society. â??In factâ??, he 
pointed out, " some serious critics believe that the pink penis also
reflects the cultural and sociological oppression experienced  by gay men in 
contemporary society. "

After the curator left, a man with a noticeable maritime accent and a large Tim 
Horton's coffee approached the couple and said: "Would you like to know what 
the painting is really all about?"

The couple looked at the man with some degree of suspicion.... "How and why," 
asked the couple, "could you claim to 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 Canadians shown here at all. They're just three Cape Breton coal 
miners. The guy in the middle went home for lunch".
