Judith Lucy said a cheeky farewell to her ample bust ahead of her double mastectomy.
The comedian, who was expected to undergo the operation on Friday after being diagnosed with breast cancer, paid tribute to her breasts in an Instagram post hours before the surgery.
'So long ladies!' the 58-year-old captioned a photo of her cleavage.
She added: 'Today I say goodbye to my breasts. Sure, I regret that a few too many dips**ts saw them over the years, but apart from that it's been a helluva ride!
'People don't yell out, 'Show us your t*ts' at comedy gigs anymore but they sure did when I was starting out.
'Or maybe they just said it to me because who can blame them? I should add that this photo is nearly 29 years old but Jesus, if someone had thrown me in a pool, I wouldn't have needed floaties.'

Lucy said in an interview last week that no longer having her breasts will 'be a shock' and she'll have to overhaul her wardrobe, but she was not choosing to undergo a reconstruction.
'It's incredibly weird. It's gonna be surreal when I wake up on Friday and my ladies are no longer with me. I love my ladies,' she told ABC Melbourne radio.
'A male comedian, who shall remain nameless, texted me to say, "Comedy's greatest breasts". Sorry to everyone else.
'I think if I were younger I would make a different decision, but I know the recovery time will be a lot less. I think I'm pretty happy with that decision.'
Judith said that she had '40 great years' with her breasts and could accept no longer having them.
'I totally understand why people would get the reconstruction, but I think I'm going to feel okay,' she said.

Days earlier, Judith had shared a candid hospital photo capturing the moment she learned she would need a mastectomy following her shock breast cancer diagnosis.
The actress posted on Facebook to thank fans for their support while issuing an urgent warning to women about the importance of regular mammograms.
In the photo, Judith appeared in good spirits as she lay in a hospital bed, wrapped in a fluffy white dressing gown and blanket.
She added the cheeky caption 'Fun with cancer!', proving she hasn't lost her wicked sense of humour, despite her health battle.
Judith revealed she had been diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this month and was preparing to undergo a double mastectomy.

The comedian broke the news in an Instagram video, explaining that the cancer had been discovered following a mammogram through BreastScreen Australia.
'On my way home, I got an email from BreastScreen Australia telling me that my mammogram result was a bit weird,' she said.
'I'm going to take this opportunity to say ladies, for the love of god, keep up with your mammograms. Anyway, long story short, I've got breast cancer.'
Judith explained she had initially expected to undergo a lumpectomy but further cancer was discovered during a subsequent medical appointment, forcing doctors to change their treatment plan.
She joked that she had enjoyed '40 years of large and spectacular breasts' and was now looking forward to a future without needing a bra.
'You had your chance fellas,' she quipped.
'So I think I'm quite fine with going bra-free for my last chapter, and my last chapter is going to be very long and healthy.'
