POTENTIALLY vs. REALISTICALLY

 

 

A young boy went up to his father and said, "Dad, the teacher gave us

an assignment to determine the difference between potentially and

realistically.

 

Can you help me?" 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, 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 sluts and a queer."
