A young boy asked his father, "Dad, what is the
difference between 'potentially' and 'realistically'?"
The father thought for a moment, then answered:
1. Go ask your mother if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars, then,
2. Go ask your sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars, and then,
3. Go ask your brother if he'd sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars, then
come back and then tell me what you learned.

So the boy went to his mother and asked, 'Would you sleep with Brad Pittfor 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 Gawd! 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?'
The brother replied. 'Of course I would! 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',
- 'Realistically, we're living with two hookers and a homo'.
