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 could buy?"
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 homosexual."
