This good looking man walks into an agent's office in Hollywood and says

"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 P e n i s van L e s b i a n."

The agent said, "Sir, I hate to tell you, but in order to get into

Hollywood, you are gonna have to change your name."

"I will NOT change my name! The van L e s b i a n 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

EVER go far in Hollywood with a name like P e n i s van L e s b i a n!

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 awestruck ....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 P e n i s van L e s b i a n.

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
