What's in a name?

[Cindy!]

A good-looking man walked into an agents office in Hollywood and said "I want to be a movie-star." Tall, handsome and with

experience on Broadway....he had all 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!! 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 flabbergasted...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 the name given me at birth, 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

Gee I haven't laffed so hard in weeks.........

Thanks that was much needed.

Here's one for you:

A doctor walked into a bank. Preparing to endorse a check, he pulled a rectal thermometer out of his shirt pocket and tried to 'write' with it.

Realizing his mistake, he looked at the thermometer with annoyance and said, "Well that's great, just great... some a**h*le's got my pen."
