Difference between potentially and realistically

[robomanusa]

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

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 learn 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!

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

Tom Cruise for a million dollars?" "Of course," the brother replied.

"Do you know how much a million could buy?" The boy pondered the answers

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, you and I are sitting on

three million dollars.............. but Realistically,......... we're

living with two sluts and a queer."
