Tiger Woods' Body Language Won't Shut Up

What's Your Reaction:

Tiger Woods has been tearing up the fairways at the Masters this week, but his first and toughest challenge was getting through a press conference. Tiger aced it, if only because no new waitresses popped up during the questioning to say that Tiger had made sweet, sweet love to them in the parking lot of a Waffle House.

My favorite magazine, People, didn't just watch the press conference, they hired body-language expert Patti Wood, author of Success Signals: Understanding Body Language to interpret what Tiger was thinking and feeling. I watched the same press conference and came to to some different conclusions.

• At the beginning of the press conference, Tiger wiped his sweaty brow
Expert: Tiger, fresh off the heels of a nasty sex scandal, can barely deal with the pressure.
Me: Tiger is wondering if he has enough Ambien and condoms for the Masters After-Party and will Gary Player cock block yet another menage trois?

• Tone of voice when he spoke
Expert: His voice was very high and his eyes were very wide, too, which shows stress.
Me: He's keeping his eyes open because he just saw his wife Elin grabbing a nine-iron and taking a practice swing at his head.

• Shoulders rising when asked if he did steroids
Expert: Tiger looks confident and believable.
Me: It's not the shoulders she should be looking at when it comes to steroids, it's the shrunken testicles.

• Taking a sip of his sports drink during a question about media coverage:
Expert: Tiger coughed and put his hand over his mouth. Which says it didn't go down well and he wanted to cough up how horrible it was.
Me: Tiger started choking when he realized how many millions he lost when Gatorade dumped his endorsement deal.

• Smiling while talking about golf:
Expert: This is what really makes him joyful.
Me: The cute reporter from ESPN gave him her phone number.

As for the final body language clue: Tiger has a giant erection. You figure it out.

Guy: A writer would know that the subject of a sentence is not automatically followed by a comma. Keep working on it, maybe you'll get there. Your bad example: People, (verb etc.)

Tiger needs to put a chastity lock over all that 'body language'.

Very funny headline. Even if the last line was a complete comedy-killer.

FAIL.

Disregard others' opinions and think for yourselves. This is a truly amusing and accurate take on kinesiologists' opinions (body language experts). Let's hear more ideas and comments from this professional writer. Thanks for the laughs.
