A young boy approaches his father and asks, "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 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! I wouldn't pass
up an opportunity like that."

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 would just love to do
that! I would be nuts to pass up that opportunity!"

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 dollars is?"

The boy pondered that 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."
