Hi My Dear Adland Pro Friends,
This was sent to me by one of my dear friends. Hope you find it amusing. If not, don't think bad of me.
Hope you all have a very blessed week!

A good looking man 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, "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 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 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 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. Because I was 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
(I don't care who you
are, that's funny.)
