As a game developer making games that many players would call evil (IAPs, IAPs everywhere.), I tend to prefix my "what do you do?" with "Oh uh, it's not something I'd actually play, but it's called ...". Shame, really.

#4I make roads for a living. (Well, my software does.)

Software is boring. What the software does - now _that_ captures peoples interest!
