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
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
