A young boy went up to his father and asked him, "Dad, what is the
difference between 'potentially' and 'realistically'?"
The father thought for a moment, then answered, Go ask your mother if she
would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars. Then ask your sister if
she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars, and then, ask your
brother if he'd sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars. Come back and
tell me what you learn from that."
So the boy went to his mother and asked, "Would you sleep with Brad Pitt for
a million dollars?" The mother replied, "Of course, I would!
We could really use that money to fix up the house and send you kids to a
great university!"
The boy then went to his sister and asked, "Would you sleep with Brad Pitt
for a million dollars?" The girl replied, "Oh, good heavens! I LOVE Brad
Pitt and I would sleep with him in a heartbeat. Are you nuts?"
The boy then went to his brother and asked, "Would you sleep with Brad Pitt
for a million dollars?" "Of course," the brother replied. "Do you know how
much a million bucks would buy?"
The boy pondered the answers for a few days and then went back to his dad.
His father asked him, Did you find out the difference between 'potentially'
and 'realistically'?
The boy replied, "Yes, 'Potentially' you and I are sitting on three million
dollars, but 'realistically' we're living with two hookers and a future
congressman."
