A good-looking man walked into an agent's office in Hollywood and says
"I want to be a movie star." Tall, handsome and with experience on Broadway,
he has the right credentials.
The agent asks, "What's your name? The guy said, "My name is Peni$ 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.
"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 says, "Sir, I have worked in Hollywood for years. You will NEVER go far in Hollywood
with a name like Peni$ 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 says, and he leaves 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 awe-struck, who would possibly send him $50,000?
He reads the letter enclosed.
"Dear Sir, five years ago, I came into your office wanting to become an actor in Hollywood,
you told me I needed to change my name. Determined to make it with my God-given birth name,
I refused. You told me I would never make it in Hollywood with a name like Peni$ 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..
