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. 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!

Back in the day, when I was doing tractor-related odd jobs for a living - bushhogging, grading, digging, etc. - it was a given that people without two nickels to rub together would pay while I was loading up, people with money would send a check. Eventually. After a couple of reminders.

I am happy to say that I have never spent a dime getting my hair cut. When I was a kit my mom did it. Then for a while my brother and I did each others hair. Now my wife cuts my hair. I mean, what's left of it, anyway.
Not sure why it's a point of pride. I know others think I'm weird for it, but that don't bother me none.

Also, I had to convince myself that the guy on the right is wearing a jacket that is only zipped up to his belly button and not that his tie is tied ridiculously short. Being an engineer has served me well, but damn is it annoying to think the way I think.
