A young boy went up to his father and asked him, "Dad, what's 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.* Then ask your brother is he'd sleep with Tom Cruise for a million dollars.* Come back and tell me what you learned 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 college.
"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, we're sitting on three million dollars, but realistically, we're living with two sluts and a queer."
