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 were a letter and a check for
$50,000. The agent is awe-struck. Who would possibly send him $50,000? He reads the letter enclosed...
"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
