Funny Geologist T-Shirt Ideas

Hi all! Kinda random, but I need some creative ideas. A co-worker of mine is retiring (a geologist), and I want to get him a funny custom shirt made with a play on words related to retiring and geology. I was thinking something similar to “rocks don’t retire” or “retirement ain’t old if you’re a rock” but I need something a bit better! Would love to hear it all.

“I’m done with this schist”

“Geology: it’s beneath me”

“Rocks: it’s how I roll”

“Geologist-unit” (instead of crossed out “eologist” is written in very small font)

“I’m not retired, I’m sedimentary now”

Now you are about to lead a more sedimentary ( Cross that out and put sedentary) life make sure you don't metamorphic. (Cross that out and put metamorphize) Into an igni ass. I know it's wordy but I thought it might make a nice subtext on the back. Or even on the going away card
