POTENTIALLY & REALISTICALLY….
July 18th, 2005
A young boy went up to his father and asked, “What is the difference
between potentially’ and ‘realistically’?
The father pondered for a while, then answered “Go and ask your mother
if she would sleep with Robert Redford for a million pounds.
Also, ask your sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million
pounds. Come back and tell me what you have learned.”
So the boy went to his mother and asked, “Would you sleep with Robert
Redford for a million pounds?” The mother replied, “Of course I would.
I wouldn’t pass up an opportunity like that.”
The boy then went to his sister and said, “Would you sleep with Brad
Pitt for a million pounds?” The girl replied, “Oh gosh!! I would just
love to do that! I would be nuts to pass up that opportunity!!”
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’ and ‘realistically’?”
The boy replied, “Yes, potentially we’re sitting on two million pounds,
realistically we’re living with two slappers.”
The father replied, “That’s my boy!”
