*** still needy ASAP ***

For a magazine...

The quote is (roughly): "Its not over til the fat lady sings".

Some people think it comes from the Chicago Bulls where it was
used often 6 years ago.  I'm sure it predates that, and I'm

Others have no idea at all but seem to represent some sort of
wellspring of desire to know the quotes source.

Andrew Scott Beals says the quote really is: "The opera's not over
till the fat lady sings".  I think he is on track: I believe
the line was spoken at an opera when two well known
sports figures are in attendance.  One wants to know when the
interminable thing is over.  The other replies...
