Actually, I did translate and post them here at FR a few years ago.
Some Freeper did not get the Putin joke at the time.:-)

Story No.4 (What is happiness in life?)
British, French, and a N. Korean were having chats.
British: "I am the happiest man when wearing woolen pants and sitting before a fireplace at winter night."
French: "You British are so lame. I am the happiest man when spending vacation at the Mediterranean with a beautiful blonde and parting our ways upon our return."
N. Korean: "Somebody knocked at the door in the middle of night. I opened it, and they said, "Kang Sung-mi, you are under arrest!" However, Kang Sung-mi is actually my neighbor. That was our happiest moment!"

Story No. 5
Kim Jong-il and Putin were having a meeting in Moscow. During the break, they made a bet on whose bodyguard is more loyal, just to kill time.
Putin called up his bodyguard Ivan. He opened a window(they were on 20th floor) and said, "Ivan! Jump out of this window!" Ivan was in tears, and said, "Mr. President, how could you do this to me? I have a wife and children." Putin was also in tears, apologized to him, and let him go.
Then Kim Jong-il called his bodyguard Lee Myung-man, and said, "Lee Myung-man, jump off from here!" Lee Myung-man was about to jump off without hesitation. Putin grabbed him and tried to stop him. He said, "Are you crazy? If you jump out of here, you will be dead!" Lee Myung-man was kicking and screaming, trying to jump off. He said, "Please let me go. I have a wife and children!"
