I was just watching some clips of the old What's My Line TV show and thought this would be a game for here. While some heroes have maintain the same career over the years (i.e. Clark Kent, reporter) others have had various other careers (although I don't think any had a career as a flea breeder)
So, one person thinks of a career a superhero had in her/his alter ego. People then can ask yes or no questions to try to determine the occupation. The focus should be on the occupation rather than the superhero. The first person who correctly guesses the occupation goes next. You do get bonus points for guessing the superhero also.
I will begin. Our guest has entered and signed in. Miss Arlene Francis will begin the questioning...

Does your occupation ever involve you leaving the land (e.g. traveling in the air, space, on or under water)?

If I were to use this product, would I be more likely to use it in my home than anywhere else?

It is equally likely for you to use the product in your home as well as elsewhere.

Why yes, I am toy salesman Hal Jordan. And with only 2 no answers, I have won $10.

Actually, it's 3 no answers. The equally likely to use in the home as elsewhere counts as a no, since I asked if it was more likely. Will the next contestant please enter and sign his or her name? Thank you. We'll begin our next set of questions with Bennett Cerf.

(Knowing the WML? fans on LW are, I think it's more like EDE is Bennett, Quis is Arlene and I'm Dorothy, but here goes: ) Do you work for a profit-making organization?

I fancy myself more as John Daley.
Eryk from the clips I've seen, when the answer is a "yes and no" it is counted as a yes answer and not as a no answer.
Is there a product associated with this occupation.

I work for an organization that at least intends to make a profit. There is no specific product associated with my occupation. That's one card flipped.

Does your occupation put you in the public's eye?

Hmm... that's a tough one. Let us say that there exist circumstances under which one in my profession may find oneself in the public eye as a result of one's participation in this profession, though it would not necessarily be the intention of one partaking in this profession to become a public figure.

EDE, John Daly would be proud! Is there a service associated with this line?
