Potentially & Realistically

A young boy approaches his father and asks, '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 Robert Redford 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 Tom Cruise for a million dollars. Come back and tell
me what you learned from that.'


So the boy went to his mother and asked, 'Would you sleep with Robert Redford
for a million dollars?'


The mother replied, 'Of course I would! I wouldn't pass up an opportunity like
that.'


The boy then went to his sister and asked, 'Would you sleep with Brad
Pitt for a million dollars?'


The girl replied, 'Oh my God! I would just love to do that! I would be nuts to
pass up that opportunity!'


The boy then went to his brother and asked, 'Would you sleep with Tom Cruise
for a million dollars?'


Of course,' the brother replied. 'Do you know how much a million dollars is?'


The boy pondered that for a few days, then went back to his dad. His father
asked him, 'Did you find out the difference between potentially and
realistically?'


The boy replied, 'Yes, sir. Potentially, we're sitting on three million
dollars, but realistically, we're living with two sluts and a queer.'
