A train on the outskirts of Tokyo
At five minutes to midnight, I took the train on the outskirts of Tokyo. There were only me and a few other people in the carriage when a man entered. He looked around the carriage and as soon as the doors closed, his face was convulsed with horror.
He approached a girl.
– Excuse me, ma’am, are you 28 years old?
– Yes! – she replied – How did you guess?
He ignored her question and moved on to the man sitting next to him.
– And you... are you 45?
– Yes, right!
He looked at me.
– And you’re 35.
– That’s right, but how do you know?
– And you, miss, are you 50?
– Yes, exactly, but tomorrow I’ll be 51... or rather, in 5 minutes.
When she said that, the man’s face turned white as a sheet. Why?
