Movie veteran PETER O'TOOLE has decided on the message he'd like hammered on his tombstone - it's inspired by a note from his dry cleaner that once made him chuckle. The 74-year-old LAWRENCE OF ARABIA star recalls getting the missive about a battered, well-worn leather jacket - and has always thought it would make the perfect testimonial. He says, "Many years ago I had a beloved leather jacket... and I never wanted to throw it away. "I sent it to the cleaners because it was covered in blood and Guinness and scotch and Corn Flakes, the usual. "It went off to the Sycamore Cleaners and it came back with a thing pinned on it: 'It distresses us to return work which is not perfect' - so I want that on my tombstone."
