[Mgs] Reality, was:Oil Article

[Paul Hunt]

A young boy went up to his father and asked him, 'Dad, what is the difference
between potential and reality?'

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 my God! I LOVE Brad Pitt! 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?'

'Of course,' the brother replied. 'Do you know how much a million bucks would
buy?'

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 potential and
reality?'

The boy replied, 'Yes. Potentially, you and I are sitting on three million
dollars.

But in reality we're living with two hookers and a homo.
