Tiger has sense of humor...

I stumbled across one of these stupid "most embarassing moments in sport caught on camera" shows browsing through the TV channels and happend to see a scene, which was obviously cut out of the nationwide coverage (I don't think I'd have missed it).
It happend at the Skins game, at the hole where Anika outdrove Fred Funk and he kept playing the hole in a skirt.
On the green Fred had obvious problems squating over the ball to mark it, end up squatting down with his knees wide apart (very un-female like ). Tiger was in similar position on the oposite side of the hole, a few yards back, when this conversation took place:
Fred : "Tiger, what do you think?"
Tiger: "To be honest Fred... it's a ball.. no make it TWO BALLS OUT" with a laud gigle...
At that time both Anika and Fred lost it and rolled on the green bursting in laughter.
I think it was funny. It sucks we got so "P.C." that human moments like that don't make the nationwide coverage. Go Tiger, once golf career is over - stand up act is waiting

I heard Tiger say that on the mic he was wearing during the Skins game coverage and was having a good laugh too! Was funny that it got through ok.

BTW this is my first post. hello all :)

I liked Fred's comment to tiger better. I think it was near the end of the round after fred had to put the skirt on. Tiger left a putt short of the hole and Fred said " I still have that skirt in my bag if you need it" Maybe not the exact quote but it was on those lines. I loved it.

Tiger didn't say this, but it's still funny:

Q. There's a lot of interest in south Florida and the reports that you bought in Jupiter Island. Can you tell us about your decision to buy there and what appealed to you about that area? TIGER WOODS: I'm close to the water. You know, I grew up here in Southern Cal not too far away from the beach, and I miss the ocean. Being in Orlando close to water, there's a bunch of lakes, but it's not the ocean. It's something I've always had my entire life, always been close to the ocean. Even when I was up at Stanford, we were only 15, 20 minutes away from the ocean. I just miss being close to it. Translation: Funny story: me and E were taking a Sunday drive and we saw this open house, and I was like, Let's pretend to look around and maybe we can steal some CDs when the owners aren't watching. But it turned out to be an OK place, and I just happened to have $40 million on me, so I bought it. Also, I thought it would be nice to be neighbors with Greg Norman, so he can come over and try on my green jackets when he's feeling down.

That is good stuff. I don't think many people think that Tiger doesn't have a sense of humor, except the people that only see him play and nothing else. On Jay Leno last year when he was pushing his latest video game he was telling a story to Jay about how he would ask Steve a question about a short putt and Steve would just whisper in his ear, "Don't f*** up".

The Thanksgiving Skins game last year was also extra entertaining, due to the relaxed atmosphere and banter between the players.
