What's in a name (15)

| This good looking man walks into an agents office in Hollywood and
says "I want to be a movie-star." Tall, handsome and with experience on
Broadway.... he had all 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 gonna 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
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 'Penis Van Lesbian.' After I left
your office, I thought about what you said and 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" | |
