An old jape, probably from the 1950s, heard from my father:
A tour guide somewhere in the US southwest stands in front of a building and says "This building is one of the oldest in the territory, a hundred and twenty years old. Think of that folks, a hundred and twenty years old."
A voice from the back of the crowd says, "I can't wait to get back to Damascus and tell them."

Haha, my own house already 90 years old. I got married in my city's town hall which has been in active use since 1544. It's a different world from the US :)
