Rolling Stones

I know they have been going for an awful long time but I think the Daily Express made a mistake today.
There was an article that referred to their collective age as 956 years. That makes them an average of being 239 years old.
I mean I know they all look the worse for wear but that is stretching it a bit.

That would make them the Strolling Bones

"That makes them an average of being 239 years old. "

That seems about right to me! :-)

There was a photo of just the four of them.

No, my guess doesn't work either.

It was on page 13 in the Jennifer Selway column.
It said the Stones are going on tour with a combined age of 956 years.

Sorry I don't know how to do a link.

It was a joke.

The last time they were in my house for a party about six years ago, they danced like twenty year olds.

Most of the Express is a joke, but there's no evidence that this particular claim was anything but an arithmetic failure.
