Some have probably heard it before thought it was funny.

A young boy went up to his father and asked him,

"Dad, what is the difference between 'Potentially' and 'Realistically'?"

The father thought for a moment, then answered,
"Go ask your mother if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million
dollars.

Then ask your sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million
dollars,

and then, ask your brother if he'd sleep with Brad Pitt for a million
dollars.

Come back and tell me what you learn from that."

So the boy went to his mother and asked, "Would you sleep with Brad
Pitt for a million dollars?"

The mother replied, "Of course, I would! We could really use that
money to fix up the house and send you kids to a great university!"

The boy then went to his sister and asked, "Would you sleep with Brad
Pitt for a million dollars?"

The girl replied, "Oh good heavens! I LOVE Brad Pitt and I would
sleep with him in a heartbeat. Are you nuts?"

The boy then went to his brother and asked, "Would you sleep with
Brad Pitt for a million dollars?"

"Of course," the brother replied. "Do you know how much a million
bucks 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. 'Potentially,' you and I are sitting on three
million dollars,

but 'realistically,' we're living with two hookers and a homo.''
