"potentially" and "reality"

Oct 05, 2006 10:00

I found this e-mail in my work Inbox this morning:

Youngest Son: Tell me Daddy, what is the difference between "potentially" and "reality"?

Dad: I will show you....

Dad turns to his wife and asks her: Would you sleep with Robert Redford for 1 million dollars?
Wife: Yes of course! I would never waste such an opportunity!

Then Dad asks his daughter if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for 1 million dollars?
Daughter: Wow! Yes! This is my fantasy!

So Dad turns to his elder son and asks him: Would you sleep with Tom Cruise for 1 million dollars?
Elder Son: Yeah! Why not? Imagine what I could do with 1 million dollars! I would never hesitate!

So the father turns back to his younger son saying:

You see son, "potentially" we are sitting on 3 million dollars, but "in reality" we are living with 2 bitches and a gay!
