Potentially and Realistically

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."
