**twickster** , do you want to start the next one, and somebody from the red team can start the following one to finish this one up? And we’ll all start anew when **Idle Thoughts** is available? ---

Yeah, if that’s okay with everyone, I’ll be glad to do the next question. I’ve got a good one in mind, but want to work on my list a little. I’ll be ready to do the toss-up sometime between 11 and 12 Eastern time today. ---

Okay – ready? I’ll add some additional explanations and commentary after the toss-up, but let’s just start with the question. **Name a profession that involves water.** ---

1. 2. Lifeguard 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. Blue takes it. Play or pass? You may want to discuss this – remember that we’re playing under the revised rules, where if the team that plays strikes out and the other team steals, the other team gets _all_ the points that have been accrued. _Note on answers:_ Job titles are a little goofy – so I have bunched some together as “variations on a theme.” If you guess one of those, I’ll specify that “this includes x, y, and z” when I post the answer. If you’re not sure if an answer you’re thinking of would be included in an answer already given – **ask, don’t guess**. If you ask, I’ll clarify – if you guess and it is included, it will be a strike. _Note on what “professions involving water” might include: they do **not** include:_ [ul][li]Jobs where you need water to mix or create something you use to perform the job. (For instance – you need water to make concrete, but “mason” isn’t a job that involves water.)[/li][li]Jobs where you wash your hands a lot, but said washing is incidental to the actual job. (For instance – child care worker.)[/li][li]Jobs where you’d get really, really thirsty so you’d drink a lot of water. (For instance, laying railroad tracks across a barren waste of desert.) [/ul][/li] _General note_: **The decisions of the judge are final.** 😃 So – Blue – play or pass? ---
