A long time ago, this young Dutch American actor named Penus Autolesbian was auditioning for Mary Poppins. He was auditioning for the part of "Burt" in Mary Poppins. He blew away everybody with his acting, but he couldn't have gotten the job, just because of his unfortunate name. The auditioner said "Mr. Autolesbian, you have a fine acting talent, but parents would be very weary if they saw your name on the credits, you must change it." Mr. Autolesbian was appalled. His family emigrated from the Netherlands proudly with that name He would not change the proud heritage of the great Autolesbians. The auditioner said "Well, you can call yourself Robert Michaels or some other less offensive name." Mr. Autolesbian affirmed himself and cried "I will not change my name! That’s a proud family name.” Then the young Dutch-American actor was informed that he lost the part later on that day. 6 months later, while looking for more work in Hollywood, he saw a Mary Poppins movie poster, starring Julie Andrews. As he was sulking, he then did a double take. He saw an odd name on the poster. He looked closer and he saw the name of this other, more successful Dutch-American actor had the part he auditioned for. The Dutch actor was ironically named....

It's supposed to be a joke. What kind of person would name themselves "Penus Autolesbian"?

The same type of guy who keeps a last name like "Buttafucco" ?

If only he lived in the 1990s, a guy like Dennis Pennis would have a very successful cable show! ;)
