feminist ha-ha

Usually, I don't watch Jay Leno. I think that his jokes are designed for trucked-in tourists who've been standing in the sun too long, and I find it appalling that he still makes cat-fight noises directed at any of his female guests who express a strong opinion about anything.

It was by chance that his show was on in the background when Jay introduced his next guest, Annika Sorenstam. I watch as much golf as I do Jay Leno, so I wasn't expecting the chuckles. Color me surprised.

Sorenstam was speaking about playing golf with her buddy Tiger Woods. She said that they would get very competitive, and would make bets on the game. When asked if she would ever win, she went on to say, "Sometimes, but I only get seven-tenth of what he gets."

That is what we call a zinger. Unfortunately, Jay's audience didn't get the funny.

Shame.
