Potentially v. Realistically
A young boy went to his father and asked,
"What's the difference between 'potentially' and 'realistically'."
The father answered, "Go ask your mother if she would sleep with
Denzel Washington for one million dollars.
Then go ask your sister if she would sleep with Sean 'Puffy' Combs
for one million dollars. Come back and tell me what you've learned."
So the boy went to his mother and asked,
"Would you sleep with Denzel Washington for one million dollars?"
The mother replied, "Of course I would.
I wouldn't pass up an opportunity like that!"
Then the boy went to his sister and asked,
"Would you sleep with Sean 'Puffy' Combs for one million dollars?"
The girl replied, "Oh my gosh! I'd be nuts to pass that up!"
The boy thought about it for two or three days and went back to his
dad.
His father asked him if he'd found out the difference
between "potentially and realistically."
The boy replied, "Yes. 'Potentially' we're sitting on two million
dollars,
but 'realistically' we're living with two hoes."
