If a train leaves Paris headed east at 137 MPH, and another train leaves Bern headed west at 141 MPH, how many joints do the engineers have to smoke in order to ensure a head-on collision killing all aboard?

Its a trick question. Trains in Switzerland and France measure speed in kilometers.

That depends on which train reaches the point of intersection first at which point that train automatically has the right of way and is allowed to deduct the first 15 casualties from the accident report.
