A good looking man walked into an agent's office in
Hollywood and said "I want to be a movie star." Tall,
handsome and with experience on Broadway, he had the
right credentials.
The agent asked, "What's your name?"
The guy said, "My name is Penis van Lesbian."
The agent said, "Sir, I hate to tell you, but in order
to get into Hollywood, you are going to have to change
your name."
"I will NOT change my name! The van Lesbian name is
centuries old, I will not disrespect my grandfather by
changing my name. Not ever."
The agent said, "Sir, I have worked in Hollywood for
years... you will NEVER go far in Hollywood with a
name like Penis van Lesbian! I'm telling you, you will
HAVE TO change your name or I will not be able to
represent you."
"So be it! I guess we will not do business together"
the guy said and he left the agent's office.
FIVE YEARS LATER..... The agent opens an envelope sent
to his office. Inside the envelope is a letter and a
check for $50,000. The agent is awe-struck, who would
possibly send him $50,000? He reads the letter enclo sed...
"Dear Sir, Five years ago, I came into your office
wanting to become an actor in Hollywood, you told me I
needed to change my name.
Determined to make it with my God-given birth name, I
refused. You told me I would never make it in
Hollywood with a name like Penis van Lesbian. After I
left your office, I thought about what you said. I
decided you were right. I had to change my name. I had
too much pride to return to your office, so I signed
with another agent. I would never have made it without
changing my name, so the enclosed check is a token of
my appreciation.
Thank you for your advice.
Sincerely,
Dick van Dyke
