Someone emailed me a bunch of these (modelled after "Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.) recently, and some were quite good, others so-so.

Here are a couple of mine:

Old guitarist never die: They just don't pluck as often, as fast, or as hard.

Old Sergeants never die: They just lose command of their Privates.

OK. Your turn.
