A Hollywood movie queen who had been married many times was to get married once again and went to her doctor to ask for a face lift. The doctor was not keen on doing it.
"I am sorry madam, you have had it done so many times that I do not think you should have it done again."
"Ah, please doctor, I am getting married again and he is much younger than me. I must look my best at the wedding."
"Alright, I will do it but it is definitely the last time!
