Because it's quiet, and I'm bored
Apologies if folk have heard this.

A bloke walks into a talent agency and with a flourish, places his resume on the desk.
"Can I help you?" asks the talent manager.
"Oh yes," says the performer. "I'm everything you've been looking for; and I seek representation."
"What can you do?" asks the manager.
"Do? Well, I can act, I can sing, I can dance. I'm an all-round performer".
Flicking through the resume, the manager says, "Well this is certainly very impressive, but I'm afraid I can't represent you. We would have a problem with your name".
"What's wrong with it?" demands the aghast artiste.
"It says here your name is Penis van Lesbian. Nobody will take you seriously or book you with that name, no matter how accomplished you are. If you would be willing to change it, we would certainly be interested."
"I change my name for noone!" rants van Lesbian. "I'm proud of my name and I change it for noone. I shall become the biggest star ever without your help. Good day to you!" and with that he flounces out.
Two years pass and the talent manager receives a letter, accompanied with a large bouquet of flowers.

Dear Mr. Manager.

2 years ago I came to you seeking representation and due to my refusal to change my name, I rebuffed you and stormed out.
I gave your advice serious thought and on hindsight, decided you may be right. I chose a stage name and have now become a huge star, and I owe it all to you and your advice.
Please accept these flowers as a token of my gratitude.

Yours sincerely,

Dick van Dyke

Hurrah for that BK, that made me laugh
I had not heard that one before.

It is very quiet here tonight, I'm reluctant to start a HSH thread as I doubt I'll be here to much tonight.

Becky has started a HSH thread.
