This is a true story......
Subject: Names
>>
>> 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 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 Dutch and 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 went to your office wanting to become an actor in Hollywood, and you told me 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
OK so its not true... it is still funny.....
