*in a German accent* "Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down. "That's not my department," says Wernher von Braun."
Always caused a chuckle.

“Some speak harsh words of this man of renown, but some say our attitude should be one of gratitude — like the widows and orphans of old London Town, who owe their large pensions to Werner Von Braun.” I heard the WVB sued Lehrer over that song, but lost because he was considered a public figure. (Presumably TL didn’t have to use truth as his defense.)
