If I pointed at a male co-worker who had worn a pink shirt into work and said "I guess we send him to the insane asylum now", would you get the reference/joke?

My first thought as well.

What was the context of the original gag, thebitterguy? I'm not getting it from the comments above.

In the Simpsons episode Stark Raving Dad, Homer wears a pink shirt to work. This tags him as a "free thinking anarchist", and he's given a mental examination, and put into an insane asylum, where he meets a man who thinks he's Michael Jackson.
