Jaime Foxx Loves Chess
Jamie Foxx is addicted to chess. The 38-year-old star has been playing the mentally challenging board game since he was seven or eight and admits he is addicted. He said: “My biological father taught me how to play chess – I don’t know whether it was because he wanted us to bond over it or what – and as soon as he showed me how to play, I just went off on it.”
Foxx, whose parents split up when he was a child, has also revealed chess allowed him and his estranged father to bond again after they were reunited after 20 years of being apart.
He revealed to Live magazine: “Playing a game of chess was how we picked up our relationship again. He was terrible. I beat him easily and I looked at him and said, ‘How did you teach me?’
However, Foxx is not the only movie star who has a passion for the board game. His friends Will Smith and Al Pacino are fellow chess players.
He explained: “It’s OK to lose to Will Smith or Al Pacino, because it just gives me a chance to hang out more with those guys, hear their stories and learn from them.” 
Country Boy Joke
Once there was a little boy that lived in the country.
They had to use an outhouse, and the little boy hated it because it was hot in the summer and cold in the winter and stank all the time. The outhouse was sitting on the bank of a creek and the boy determined that one day he would push that outhouse into the creek.
One day after a spring rain, the creek was swollen so the little boy decided today was the day to push the outhouse into the creek. So he got a large stick and started pushing. Finally, the outhouse toppled into the creek and floated away.
That night his dad told him they were going to the woodshed after supper. Knowing that meant a spanking, the little boy asked why.
The dad replied, “Someone pushed the outhouse into the creek today. It was you, wasn’t it son?”
The boy answered yes. Then he thought a moment and said, “Dad, I read in school today that George Washington chopped down a cherry tree and didn’t get into trouble because he told the truth.”
The dad replied, “Well, son, George Washington’s father wasn’t in the cherry tree.”
