Potential & Reality
By A kid 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 demonstrate. 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 decides to ask his mother. “Mom, if someone gave you a
million dollars, would you sleep with Robert Redford?”
“Don’t tell your father, but yes, I would.”
He then goes to his sister’s room. “Sis, if someone gave you a million
dollars, would you sleep with Brad Pitt?”
She replies, “O my god! Definitely!”
The kid goes back to his father. “Dad, I think I’ve figured it out.
Potentially, we are sitting on two million bucks, but in reality, we are living
with two sluts.”
