they: "So, what do you do?"
I: "I do software and hardware support"
they: "Oh, great. You should come to dinner one of these days and then maybe you can fix my computer for me."
Scenario II:
they: "So, what do you do?"
I: "I'm a proctologist."
they: "Oh, right."
Never use scenario I, as you invariably end up getting a bad meal and then spending 6 hours wrestling with a completely messed up computer.
Scenario II, however, is great. Because no one ever says "Oh, great. You should come to dinner one day and then maybe you can stick your hand up my arse and fix my colon problems." Usually, they won't even want to shake your hand anymore.
