A good looking man walks 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.'
The guy promptly 'I will NOT change my name! The van Lesbian name is centuries old and I will not disrespect my forefathers by changing my name - Not ever.'
The agent said, 'Sir let me give you some free advice - I have worked in Hollywood for years....you will NEVER go anywhere 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 cheque 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, so 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.
However, after I left your office, I thought about what you said and I decided you were absolutely correct - I had to change my name.
As I had too much pride to return to your office, I signed with another agent. Thinking back there's no way that I would ever have made it without taking your advice, so please accept the enclosed cheque as a token of my appreciation for the advice you freely gave to me that day.
Sincerely,
Dick van Dyke
Guess it worked for him, sigh.............................................. !
Si thee
