A train on the outskirts of Tokyo

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?

A funny vagrant
The doorbell rings. Bill opens the door. On the threshold, he sees a local vagrant.
"Hello," says the vagrant, "as usual, I was going around the garbage pits and in one of them found a wallet with $1,000 and your ID. You must have thrown it away by mistake."
"Right!" says Bill joyfully. "My wallet! Thank you so much!"
"Please check the contents." the vagrant asks.
"One thousand even!" confirms Bill, counting the bills hastily. Then he takes a $20 bill out of the pack and gives it to the vagrant, "This is from me with thanks!"
They part, being quite content with each other.
"Who was it?" Bill’s wife asks.
Bill laughs and tells his wife what happened.
Why’s it funny?
