POTENTIAL VS REALITY ___________ Johnny comes home from school with a writing assignment to define and subsequently explain the difference between potential and reality. After getting nowhere on it for 2 hours, he finally asks his father for help. "Dad, can you tell me the difference between potential and reality?" His father looks up, thoughtfully, and then says, "Go ask your mother if she would sleep with Robert Redford for a million dollars. Then go ask your sister, Suzie, if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars. Then come back and tell me what they said." The kid is puzzled, but he decides to follow his father's guidance. He goes downstairs to the kitchen and asks his mother, "Mom, if Robert Redford gave you a million dollars to sleep with him would you?" His mother looks around slyly, and then with a little smile on her face says, "Yes, I would." Then he goes back upstairs to his sisters room and asks her, "Sis, if Brad Pitt gave you a million dollars, to sleep with him would you?" His sister looks up and says, "Omigod! Definitely!" The kid goes back to his room and father and says, "Dad, they both said 'Yes.' " The father sits back and says "Now son potentially, we are sitting on two million bucks, but in reality, we are living with a couple of whores."
