While the clue probably should have said "civilian occupation" instead of "job", the fatality rates for fishermen and loggers have recently been higher than for active-duty military, so the clue is valid even with the qualification omitted.Ironhorse wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2019 6:26 amtwelvefootboy wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2019 12:54 amI couldn't organize an attack on this one in real time. I don't like the "most dangerous" descriptor. When it comes to homicide deaths, I think convenience store clerk was far more dangerous than law enforcement for several years. I'm sure if you go by lost time, there will be a lot of other candidates. How about pro football player?CasketRomance wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 11:52 pm would crab fishing have been accepted? or too specific?

I'm guessing they'd accept "crab fishing" after a longish pause, but why give such an unnecessarily specific answer?
