This little boy goes up to his dad and he says: "Dad, what's the difference between potentially and realistically?"

To which the father replies: "Well son, go ask your mother if she would sleep with Robert Redford for a million dollars. Then you ask your sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars."

So the boy goes up to his mom and asks her if she would sleep with Robert Redford for a million dollars and the mother replies: "Oh my god, of course I would, he is so good looking!"

So the boy moves on and asks his sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars, and she replies: "He is so fine, of course I would!"

So he goes up to his dad and says: "I think I learned the difference between potentially and realistically"

"Well, what's the difference?" asks the father.

"Well, potentially we're sitting on $2 million, but realistically we're just living with two sluts."]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:57:38 +0000 http://combatsim.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=20726 http://combatsim.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=20725 Morning.

"No, I don't think so. Fifi is in heat," replied the mother.

"What does that mean?" asked the child.

Embarrassed and not wanting to get into a biological discussion with her young daughter, the Mother said: "Oh, just go ask your father. I think he is in the garage."

The little girl goes to the garage and says: "Dad, may I take Fifi for a walk around the block? I asked Mom, but she said that Fifi was in heat, and that I had to come talk to you."

Not wanting to have the biological discussion either, the father said: "Bring Fifi over here." He took a rag, soaked it with gasoline, and scrubbed the dog's rear end with it.

"Okay, now you can go for a walk, but keep Fifi on the leash and you can only go around the block once."

The little girl left, and returned a few minutes later with no dog on the leash.

"Where is Fifi?" her father asked.

"She should be here in a minute," replied the daughter. "She ran out of gas about halfway down the block and another dog is pushing her home."]]> Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:03:16 +0000 http://combatsim.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=20721 http://combatsim.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=20720
