    My parents actually have a better idea of what I do than most of my friends. Most people have no idea what the difference is between an ad agency and a design firm.

    Common ice-breakers that crack me up:

    "So, what kind of graphs do you design?"

    "That's done on a computer, right?"

    "So what exactly do you do on a daily basis?"

    "What's the name of your company?" – This gets blank stares when I answer, nobody outside the design/marketing world knows who we are. Frustrates people who've lived in the STL area all their lives.

    Another fun one is trying to explain what InDesign is/does. Peoples' eyebrows furrow, then they change the subject to Photoshop :)
