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 my God! I
LOVE Brad Pitt! 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 homo." |
