在都柏林愛爾蘭國家美術館，一對夫婦正盯著一幅人像畫看，滿臉疑惑。這幅畫描繪了三個裸體的黑人坐在長凳上。
其中兩個人的丁丁是黑色的，但中間的那個人的丁丁是粉紅色的。美術館館長意識到他們在解讀這幅畫時遇到了困難，於是過來提供了他的個人評論。
他花了半個多小時解釋這幅畫如何描述了在一個以白人為主的父權制社會中，非裔美國人所承受的性閹割。“事實上，”他指出，“一些嚴肅的評論家認為，粉色陰莖也反映了當代社會男同性戀者所經歷的文化和社會壓迫。”
館長離開後，一個愛爾蘭人走近這對夫婦說:“你想知道這幅畫到底是什麼意思嗎?”
這對夫婦問道:“你怎麼能自稱比國立美術館的館長還要專業呢?”
“因為我是畫這幅畫的藝術家，”他回答說，“事實上，畫的根本不是非洲裔美國人。他們只是三個愛爾蘭煤礦工人。中間的那個人，回家吃了午飯。”
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 penises, but the one in the middle had a pink penis. 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 penis 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, “In fact, there are no African Americans depicted at all.
They’re just three Irish coal miners. The guy in the middle went home for lunch”
