Penis van Lesbian April 22, 2017

A good looking man walked into an agent’s office in Hollywood and said “I want to be a movie star.” Tall, handsome, with experience on Broadway, he had the right credentials.

The agent asked, “What’s your name?”

“Penis van Lesbian.”

“Sir, in order to get into Hollywood, you will 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, “I’ve worked in Hollywood for years.  You’ll NEVER go far in Hollywood with a name like Penis van Lesbian! For sure you’ll HAVE to change your name or I won’t represent you.”

“So be it! I guess we won’t do business together!”

Five years later, the agent opens an envelope sent to his office.

Inside the envelope is a check for $25,000.

The agent is awe-struck, who would possibly send him $25,000?

He reads the enclosed letter . . .

“Dear Sir, Five years ago, I came into your office wanting to become an actor in Hollywood and you told me I needed to change my name. You told me I would never make it in Hollywood with a name like Penis van Lesbian.

Determined to make it with my God-given birth name, I refused.

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 who quickly signed me with Walt Disney for a number of movies which have been very lucrative.

You were right.  I never would have made it without changing my name.

Thank you for your advice and please accept the enclosed check as a token of my appreciation.

Sincerely,

Dick van Dyke

HaHa . . . that’s better!

Yay! My mission is accomplished.

I wonder. Is this some kind of defamation? Should Mr. Van Dyke warm up his lawyer?

nrhatch - April 22, 2017

Why would he claim defamation of character? It paints him as a kind, generous, and appreciative actor . . . not to mention tall, handsome, and talented! 😀

I must admit I wondered where this one was going! Ha! Good one!

nrhatch - April 28, 2017

Exactly my experience as I read it for the first time . . . with a big pay-off chuckle at the end of the e-mail. 😀

Funny and true? Maybe not but still funny.

Yes! Certain synonyms are more socially acceptable than others.
