the difference between potential and reality
A teenager comes home from school with a writing assignment. He asks his
father for help. "Dad, can you tell me the difference between potential
and reality?" His father looks up, thoughtfully, and then says, "I'll
display it to you. Go ask your mother if she would sleep with Robert
Redford for a million dollars. Then go ask your sister if she would
sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars. Then come back and tell me
what you've learned. "The kid is puzzled, but he decides to
see if he can figure out what his father means. He asks his mother,
"Mom, if someone gave you a million dollars, would you sleep with Robert
Redford?" His mother looks around slyly, and then with a little smile
on her face says, "Don't tell your father, but, yes, I would." Then he
goes to his sisters room and asks her, "Sis, if someone gave you a
million dollars, would you sleep with Brad Pitt?" His sister looks up
and says, "Omigod! Definitely!" The kid goes back to his father and
says, "Dad, I think I've figured it out. Potentially, we are sitting on
two million bucks, but in reality, we are living with a couple of
whores."
