Joke Of The Day

A man and his wife never fought for 25yrs of their marriage.

A friend asked him how he had managed to make it possible.

He narrated, "We went for our Honeymoon in Australia 25years ago, and while riding on a horse, my wife's horse jumped and my wife fell down.

She then got up, patted the Horse's back and said 'this is your first time'.

After a while,it happened again.She patted the horse again and said 'this is your second time".

The horse did it again the 3rd time, she brought out a gun and shot the horse dead.

I was so shocked and shouted at her, 'Are you crazy!' What's wrong with you? Why did you kill the horse?

She gave me a grave look and said this is your first time.

Since then.....!

Kevin Hart: I Won't Play a Gay Character

American actor, comedian, writer, and producer Kevin Hart doesn't expect to play a gay character anytime soon.
During an interview with New York's Power 105.1 radio station, Kevin Hart admitted to turning down the role of Alpa Chino in 2008's Tropic Thunder because he didn't feel comfortable playing a gay role and that part was played in the film by Brandon T. Jackson. Hart explained that the draft of the script he read was different from the shooting script. "The dude, he was doing a lot of stuff in the draft that I read," Hart said. "It was real flagrant. I was like, 'I can't do this.' "Hart was then asked whether he would ever play a gay character. "I can't," he said. "Not because I have any ill will or disrespect. It's
because I don't think I'm really going to dive into that role 100 percent because of insecurities about myself trying to play that
part. Does that make sense?" Hart,made it clear that he doesn't have an issue with the gay community. "As people, I love you," he said. He added that he may change his mind
years from now on playing a gay role, once he gets more acting experience.

Funny Face Reveals Business Issue

Ghanaian comedian and actor Benson Ohene Oduro Boateng known as Funny Face reveals how he feeds his fourteen dogs on The Late Nite Celebrity Show on e.TV. Which he said: “I have fourteen dogs and that’s the mistake that can happen to any man. When you make
money, think. I didn’t think about it at all. “I did not put their feeding and health into consideration because the other day I was with
Yaya Toure, Adebayor and Didier Drogba talking about dogs. As the conversation got exciting I was carried away forgetting I was not making their kind of money". “Yaya Toure showed us his dogs, he has eight of them. He asked if I liked dogs and I said "Yes.”
“Initially I was giving them Papaye because business was booming until business slowed down and I started feeding them Gari…I have
Smoke, Gypsy, Spider, Gucci, Snow, Wind, Fluffy, Lieutenant and others."
