Does ANYONE die any more?
Old veterinarians never die -- unless they euthanize themselves. Old blind people never die, they don't see the point. Old funeral directors never die, they undertake to live forever. Old euphemisms never die, they don't even pass away, meet their maker, breathe their last or push up daisies. Old physiotherapists never die -- that would be a stretch. Old mathematicians never die -- count on that. Old statisticians never die -- at least it's not probable. Old golfers never die, they just lose their drive. Old hikers never die, they just seem over the hill. Old drummers never die, they just miss a beat. Old playwrights never die, they prefer a surprise non-ending. Old comedians never die, they just lose their eQUIPment. (Old jokes never die, they resurrect in new versions ...)
