This one actually worked:
Her: so what do you do??
Me: I'm a confectionary designer.
Her: What???!!
Me: No, true. I design ice-creams. Bubble-O-Bill was one of mine.
Her: Really? What got you into that??
Me: Well, I was a trained confectioner, but I wanted to do somthing for kids.
Her: Really?? Hey me too, I'm a pre-school teacher...
Get the picture..?
