Meaning of... 'potentially'
and 'realistically'
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 future congressman."

there be any "we" in the first place."
