O TIGER’S HEART WRAPPED IN A WOMAN’S HIDE!

O TIGER’S HEART WRAPPED IN A WOMAN’S HIDE!

- William Shakespeare

Folklore has it than when Willie Sutton was asked why he robbed banks, he responded, “Because that’s where the money is.” But today the current topic of conversation is Tiger Woods and why he cheated on his beautiful wife. Multiple theories abound, but I suspect that if you substitute “sex” for “money” and “women” for “banks” you will have found the answer.

I am not embracing marital infidelity. To the contrary, I like to think that the vast majority of husbands are faithful to their wives. That being said, a fair number of men seem to be taking heat from their wives for Tiger’s indiscretions, as if they were somehow complicit. A late night comedian commented this his wife put him on a 10:30 p.m. curfew.

In any event, I sense that there is a subliminal and unspoken war between the sexes, which reminds me of the Korean War that never officially ended. Things are generally quiet but every once and a while something happens and there is a skirmish in the demilitarized zone. Right now that something is Tiger Woods.

But rest assured that this is a temporary phenomenon that will soon pass. Nobody remembers the Alamo. A year from now Tiger will once again be playing golf; both normalcy and boredom will have returned to our lives.

I have much more to say on this topic, but you will have to excuse me. Mrs. Sipsa wants to go see a George Clooney movie.
