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?

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'?
