Just got this email:




"That was a lot of fun yesterday.  Got this e-mail from a friend of mine from Charlotte who was at a Wachovia Championship tourney dinner last night:
 
 
Got to hear David Ferherty speak tonight. Damn, that's one funny Irishman.

Lots of stories. He thinks none of us really understand how good Tiger is.  Says that anyone who wins a major with Tiger in the field should be exponential credited. Mickelson doesn't have three majors. He has nine.
 
Told this one to show Tiger's sense of humor:  
 
Said Tiger was walking along side him during a tournament and turned and had this exchange:
 
Tiger: Hey, David. What do you call a black man flying an airplane?
 
David: I don't know Tiger.
 
Tiger: A pilot. You f*cking racist."

Say goodnight Ricardo

Tiger is reputed to have a very good sense of humor, but after the fiasco when he first turned pro, you won't see him joking around much in public situations.

He does however, get off a good liine now and then in press conferences.

What fiasco after he first turned pro?

Interview in Esquire mag (I think) with a few off-color jokes that he told.

Here's another example of Tiger Woods' practical joke playing sense of humor:

Maybe I posted this on here before and maybe I didn't but I couldn't remember who told me this and yesterday I was reminded of it because it was our head professional who apparently knows the lady chef on Tiger's humongous yacht appropriately named "PRIVACY".

Anyway as some know apparently Tiger's second love sport is scuba diving.

So this lady chef is in the yacht's kitchen (galley for you nautically proper people) and Tiger comes crawling into the galley on his stomach and reaches around a corner and releases this live lobster he's just caught right underneath her. Obviously when she sees it she screams to high heaven and almost has a heart attack only to hear Tiger on his stomach behind the corner dying with laughter.

What as the Funk line?

After Annika outdrove Funk on the 3rd hole, Funk put on the skirt (as most saw on highlights) over his pants.

Funk had about a 20 footer that he was squatting behind his ball to line up as all guys do...except with a skirt on.

Woods went to the opposite side of the hole to "help" line it up from the opposite angle behind the hole...squatted just like Funk to read the putt.

Funk - "What do you think, Tiger?"
Tiger - "I think it's one...no...no make that two balls out"

(galley for you nautically proper people)

Hamilton B. Hearst (Hammy or Admiral Hammy or Captain Hammy) please do take note......

Anyone else think the only reason the short hitting Funk was invited to the Skins Game was to set up the skirt joke?

Damn , I thought I had found a weakness  

For a real sense of humor on the same subject as Tiger's lame joke, you just have to go to the Greatest........

"....Ali, having said how impressed he is that blacks fly the planes in Africa ("Usually you feel safer if you see a white face flying a plane"), does this wonderful volte-face into vaudeville: "I never believe the bull-- that the pilots is all Black. I keep looking for the secret closet where they hide the white man until the trouble starts."

In a television interview that included Tiger and Barkley (although they were clearly in two different places) Tiger was promoting his book by explaining if anyone really paid attention to his instructions it would inevitably help them. Barkley had been saying how remarkably talented Tiger was but when he heard Tiger say that he said; "Wait a minute, he can't be that good a teacher because he hasn't helped me." Tiger heard that and said: "Let me amend that, my book can help anyone but nothing can help Barkley."

(But ultimately in those TV commercials Tiger seemed more considerate of Barkley's lack of talent than Tiger's headcover).

Not to mention Tiger's most recent commercials where he tackles some guy trying to steal his clubs and slowly drags his bag with the guy attached to it back to where it was. Hilarious stuff really. Or the other one where Tiger just picks up a practice ball and beans the guy and drops him.

Agree completely. Tiger would be a rare bird if he exhibited the kind of  delivery that he does in commercials, yet did not have a sense of humor. I have always that his timing and facial expressions were near impeccable. Not easy to do if you aren't an actor and don't have a sense of humor.
