Old Consultants Never Die – A Friday Fill in the Blank

  • Old accountants never die, they just lose their balance.
  • Old chemists never die, they just fail to react.
  • Old cosmologists never die, they just go to another world.
  • Old doctors never die, they just lose their patience.
  • Old dynamicists never die, they just lose their attraction.
  • Old electricians never die, they just lose their energy.
  • Old lawyers never die, they just lose their appeal.
  • Old mathematicians never die, they just lose their functions.
  • Old professors never die, they just lose their faculties.
  • Old publishers never die, they just go out of print.
  • Old statisticians never die, they just become nonsignificant.

    • I couldn’t find a one-liner on consultants so I wrote one of my own.? I give it a B+.

    Your turn.? Anyone got anything better?

      Old consultants never die, which explains that last bill.

      Old consultants never die, that’s a good question, what do you suppose they really do?

      Any extra credit points for meter and rhyme?

      Old consultants never die, hire one to find out why
      While you’re at it hire two, in case the premise is un-true
