A kid comes home from school and says to his dad, "Dad, I have to write a report about the difference between potential and reality. Can you help me?"
The dad replies, "Well, it is kind of hard to explain. Let me give you an example. Go into the kitchen and ask your mom if she would sleep with Robert Redford for a million dollars." The kid gives him a strange look, but goes into the kitchen and asks his mom the question. She tells him, "I wouldn't want to cheat on your father, but that is a lot of money. We could pay off the house and put you kids through college so for the good of the family I would do it."
The kid goes and tells his dad his mom's answer. The dad then says, "Go ask your sister if she would sleep with Zac Effron for a million dollars." The kid marches into his sister's room and asks her. She tells him, "Hell yes I would!" The kid returns to the living room and tells his dad her answer. The dad then tells him to go ask his brother if he would sleep with Tom Cruise for a million dollars. The kid does a double take, but goes into his brother's room and asks him. The brother says, "Well, I'm not gay and I doubt Tom is either, but a million is a lot of money. If I knew nobody would ever find out I probably would." The kid goes back and reports the answer to his dad.
His dad pauses for a second and takes a drink of his beer and says, "So, there you have the difference between potential and reality. Potentially we are sitting on three million dollars, but the reality is we are just living with two sluts and a fag."
