Watching the news about Trump’s testimony today reminded me of this one.
A boy comes home from school and tells his father that his homework is to learn the difference between theory and reality...
The father says ‘son, that’s easy. I’ll give you an example. Go into the kitchen and ask your mother if she would sleep with the plumber for a million dollars’.
After a short while the son comes back from the kitchen and says ‘father, I have spoken with mother and she said she would sleep with the plumber for a million dollars’.
The father says ‘okay, now go upstairs and ask your sister if she would sleep with the plumber for a million dollars’.
After a short while the son comes down the stairs and says ‘father, I have spoken with my sister and she said she would sleep with the plumber for a million dollars’.
The father says:
‘There you have it son, that’s the difference between theory and reality.
In theory, we’re sitting on two million dollars. In reality, we live with a couple of whores.
