A good looking guy 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 his name to which the man replied,
"My name is Penis van Lesbian".
The agent said "I'm sorry, but in order to get ahead in Hollywood you will definitely have to change your name!".
The man said " I will NOT change my name! The van Lesbian name is centuries old! I will not disrespect my ancestors!".
The agent said " Well, I have to tell you that you will never go far in Hollywood with a name like Penis van Lesbian".
"So be it" the man replied, and left the agent's office.
Five years later the agent receives a letter containing a cheque for $50,000. He reads the enclosed letter.
Dear Sir,
Five years ago I came into your office wanting to become a Hollywood star. You told me I needed to change my name. After I left your office I thought about it and decided maybe you were right. I DID change my name and have had massive commercial success . I would never have made it without your advice, so please accept this cheque as a token of my appreciation.
Yours sincerely,
Dick van Dyke.
