A conundrum
A young boy went up to his father and asked him, "Dad, what is the difference between potentially and realistically?" Dad thought for a moment, then answered, "Go ask your mother if she would sleep with David Beckham for a million pounds. Then ask your sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million pounds, and ask your brother if he'd sleep with Robin Williams for a million pound. Come back and tell me what you learn from that." So the boy went to his mother and asked, "Would you sleep with David Beckham for a million pounds?" His mother replied, "Of course I would! We could really use that money to decorate the house. The boy then went to his sister and asked, "Would you sleep with Brad Pitt for a million pounds?" His sister 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 Robin Williams for a million pounds?" "Of course," the brother replied. "Do you know how much that 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, Sir. Potentially, we're sitting on three million pounds, but realistically, we're living with two sluts and a queer."
