What's so funny about golf jokes?

The first press ever for Jokes Every Man Should Know is in the Wall Street Journal. "Golf Journal" columnist John Paul Newport interviewed me for his column about golf jokes. There are four or five golf jokes in the book (which isn't exactly out yet) and two are about religious people swearing. I can't hit the ball into the hole so I told him golf jokes are funny because "frustration is funny." Humor has always risen from oppression, from people who can't control the situations they're in, and when life seems horribly unfair. So, golf jokes make sense.
