Montana!

Flight,

I know we have at least one person who is from Montana and I was wondering if he could add some creditably to the following:

Tom Gator 851.

A couple attending an art exhibition at the National Gallery
were
>staring at a portrait that had them completely confused. The
painting depicted
>three very black and totally naked men sitting on a park 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 assessment. He went
on for nearly 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, a young man in a "Proud to be from
Butte, MT"
>T-shirt 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
guy who painted
>it," he replied. "In fact, there are no African-Americans
depicted at all.
>They're just three Butte, MT miners, and the guy in the middle
went home for
>lunch."
