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."
