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 good heavens! I LOVE  Brad Pitt  and 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 future congressman.''
