re; old X never die, they ..

There are also series about a more intimate subject (which is usually just called it-- and because of the it, the are ambiguous.

Scuba divers do it deeper.

Truckers do it on the road.

Engineers do it with precision.

Programmers do it in endless loops.(and several others)

Groupies do in it in concert. (also violinist, etc)

any others you want to contribute?

Old hunters never die, they just wear out thier barrels.
When old truckers wear out, they just get another Peterbilt.
Old golfers never die, they just lose their uh, oh, what WAS that one?
Old miners get the shaft.
Old wordsmiths never die, they just lose their periods and later have trouble with their colons.
