Whats in a name?

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 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 heleft 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 tomake it with my God-given birth name, I refused. You told
me I would neve rmake 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
signedwith 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
