A young Jamaican yute, Errol, asks his step-dad for some help. He says, 'Dad, can you tell me the difference between potential and reality?'

His step-father looks up thoughtfully, and says, 'Mek mi show yuh. Go ask yuh madda if she would sleep with Beres Hammond fi one million dollars. Next, ask your sister if she would sleep with Beres Hammond fi one million dollars. Then go ask yuh bradda if him would sleep with Beres Hammond fi one million dollars. Then come back and tell me wha yu find out.'

The yute is puzzled, but he decides to see if he can figure out what his stepfather means.

He asks his mother, 'Mammy if someone gave you a million dollars would you sleep with Beres Hammond?' His mother looks around slyly, and then with a little smile on her face says, 'Don't tell yuh poopah, but yes, I would.'

Then he goes to his sisters room and asks her,'Sis, if someone gave you a million dollars, would you sleep with Beres Hammond?' His sister looks up and says, 'Cho! Him kinda old still but wid di amount a clothes mi coulda buy definitely me wudda give him a grine!'

Then he goes to his brother's room and asks him, 'Eh yow, if someone gave you a million dollars, would you sleep with Beres Hammond?' His brother thinks about it for a minute and says, 'Fyah bun fi dem ting deh but fi a million bucks, I suppose I would. Just one time duh'.

Errol goes back to his stepfather and says, 'Poopah mi tink mi figured it out. Potentially, wi sittin on tree million dollars, but in reality, wi ah live wid two skettel an ah battyman.'
