Like Ol’ Man River, they just keep rollin’ along…..

What was their song? “This could be the last time.”

What did the optimistic scientist say when he woke up?

“Up and atom”

What’s an optimistic vampire’s favorite drink?

B positive.

I’m an optimistic pessimist.

I’m positive things will go wrong.

Why is 0 a optimistic number?

Because 0 is never a negative number.

What did the optimistic potato say to the pessimistic potato?

Yukon do it!!

If pelicans weren’t so optimistic…

we would have to start calling them pelican’ts

The pessimist sees a dark tunnel. The optimist sees a light at the end of the tunnel. The realist sees a freight train.

The train driver sees three idiots standing on the tracks.

This strip would have been just as funny twenty years ago.

They are getting older.

At least they’re having fun.

My friend had to have a Stone removed it wasn’t rolling.

The Strolling Bones!

Good for them! Rock on guys.

They’re an inspiration for all their boomer fans from the 60’s. Let’s keep rocking so we can get some satisfaction!

I remember seeing this about 20 years ago, still fits.

When Keith Richards finally kicks the bucket, they’ll have to shoot him into the sun. Any cemetery that accepted his body would turn into a Superfund Site.

You’d think they’d gathered a heck of a lot of moss by now…

LOL! They are all still alive!?

They’re so far beyond “a touch of grey” it’s pitiful(I also think it’s kinda sad they have nothing they’d rather do)

Hey, you! get off of my Barcalounger

And it’ll likely be a hell of a good show!

What about George Burns who had a booking for his 100th birthday booked back when he was in his early 90s. Now that was optimism. Sadly, he did not get to play that date.

Well optimistic for everyone but Keith. He is never going to die.

I would say the epitome of optimism would be eating at that restaurant.

It’s pretty much the usual show, except for the wheelchair ramp to get to the stage.

Well, their tour is sponsored by AARP (not a joke!).

They look like shar-peis but there’s life in the old group yet.

The “Ben-Gay” tour!

♪ time, time, time is on my side…

“You don’t think I want to be singing ‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction’ when I’m forty, do you? Christ on a bicycle, I’d rather be dead!”

—Mick Jagger, 1965

[Many variants of the quote are circulating, with different ages between 30 and 45 specified. Jagger has acknowledged saying it but doesn’t seem sure which age he mentioned.]

Have we considered what kind of world we’re going to leave behind for Keith Richards to live in?

Ugh! Sorry, I wouldn’t pay to see ANY late 70s or 80s rocker!
