A young boy went up to his father and asked, “what is the difference
between potentially and realistically?” The father
pondered for a while, and then answered, “Go ask your mother if she would sleep with Robert Redford for a million dollars. Also, ask your sister if she would sleepwith Brad Pitt for a million dollars. When you’ve done
that, come back and tell me what you have learnt.” 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 on 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 replies, “Oh gosh!!! I would just love to
do that! I would be nuts to pass up on an opportunity like
that.”
The boy then thought about it for two or three days and went back to
his dad.
His father asked him, “Did you find out the difference between potentially & realistically?” The boy replied, “Yes.
Potentially we’re sitting on two
million dollars, but realistically we’re living with two
sluts.”
“That’s my boy,” the father replied.
