"=?UTF-8?Q?=E2=80=A6_?=lease _of_ life."

[Wilson Gray]

Could easily be a simple typo, of course.
Nope - 11,200,000 raw hits. "A New Lease of Life" is even the title of a song.
Hold on, thar, pardner! There's even a 1954 *movie* by the title,
"Lease _of_ Life"?!

Maybe *I'm* the one who's confused!

62,600,000 raws for "lease _on_ life."

To quote from an indie movie, "I'm not even going to count. *You*
figure it out."

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint
to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
