[Burnout]

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
Robert Redford for a million dollars. Then ask your sister if she would
sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars, and ask your brother if he'd
sleep with Tom Cruise 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 Robert
Redford for a million dollars?" The mother replied, "Of course I would! I
wouldn't pass up an opportunity like that."

The boy then went to his sister and asked, "Would you sleep with Brad Pitt
for a million dollars?" The girl replied, "Oh my God! I would just love to
do that! I would be insane to pass up that opportunity!"

The boy then went to his brother and asked, "Would you sleep with Tom
Cruise for a million dollars?" "Of course," the brother replied. "Do you
know how much a million could buy? "

The boy pondered that for a few days, 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', we're sitting on three million
dollars, but 'Realistically', we're living with two 'slags' and a 'poof'."
