> Lehrer did [sic] 97

FYI, most people speak the vast majority of their quotes before the day they die.

Unfortunately for Lehrer he embarrassed himself in his final words by misremembering how long Mozart lived

I sure hope they speak all of them before they die. Bit hard to understand a corpse.

It is possible Lehrer said that before his last day on earth. Sometime around age 37 would make sense.

In fact, I had the original album from the 1960s and, yes, that's where I heard the line.
