They worked 12 hour shifts & only met each day on the steps up to their signal box.
One evening they passed on the steps--and one turned to the other and said, ''there was a woman tied to the track last night & I ran down, untied her and brought her up to the signalbox and we had sex all night''.
The other man asked, ''did she give you oral?''.

That 1 Guy - Buttmachine (live)
Tough problem (intelligent answers only please)?
Two men are walking toward each other alongside a railway. A freight train overtakes one of them in twenty seconds and exactly ten minutes later meets the other man coming in the opposite direction. The train passes this man in 18 seconds. How long after the train has passed the second man will the two men meet? (constant speeds are to be assumed throughout)
I hope I can get this right...
Since the men are presumably walking the same speed and the length of the train doesn't change, the train is travelling at a speed 19 times faster than the men (the reference distance, tho unspecified, is the length of the train). So the men are approaching each other at a speed equal to 2/19 the speed of the train. And so if the train took 10 minutes and 18 seconds, or 618 seconds to pass the second man after passing the first, then it should take the men
618*19/2 = 5871 seconds
to cover the same distance. But the first man has covered some ground by the time the train has passed the second man, and timewise that should have shortened the time between them by 1/19, so the time between them should actiually be:
5871 - [5871 * (1/19)] =
5871 - 309 = 5562 seconds = 92 min, 42 sec?
What's the word???
PS - this is a copy of my answer to your same previous question, if I'm right could you please give me a "best answer" on both? And if not, could you give us the correct answer and the method to obtain it 'cuz I mulled over this one for HOURS!! 8^)
PPS - This is a really good question
