[KS] Comedy in Translation

[Tommy]

This is one I've always enjoyed for its cross-cultural qualities:

A 할머니 and a foreigner are waiting at the same bus stop in downtown Busan.
The elderly local spots the bus coming and says: "왔대."
Replies the foreigner: "Monday."
Answers the granny: "버스 대."
To which the foreigner says: "Happy birthday!"


The following Monty Python riddle works in Korean, given the similar 
sound of the punchlines in the two languages:

What's brown and sounds like a bell?
Dung.

A Google search for the Murakami joke ending in "I am 150." proved 
fruitless. Would you be kind enough to repost it here?
