| difference between potentially and realistically 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 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 and 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 hookers
and a
homo. |
