The curator of a Western art museum commissioned a local artist to
paint a mural-sized painting of Custer's Last Thought. The artist was
told to make it highly symbolic of Custer's mindset during the debacle
at
the Little Big Horn.
Deep in thought, the artist went to his studio. After many false
starts, he proceeded to paint an enormous oil painting. Finally,
after many months of work, the painting was unveiled for the curator.
In the foreground, a beautiful crystalline blue lake with a single
fish leaping. Around the fish's head is a halo. In the background,
the hills and meadows are covered with naked Native American couples
copulating.
The curator is both disgusted and baffled by what he sees. In a
rage he turns to the artist and asks, "What the hell has this got to
do with Custer's Last Thought?"
The artist replied, "It's simple; Custer's last thought had to have
been: "Holy mackerel! Where did all these fucking Indians come from?
