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
