What do you do ?

This young man is having a drink in a dance-bar (A dancing geek is a rarity, unless, the whole crowd belongs to the same species and is either doped-or-dead-drunk). A femme-fatale comes and occupies the next seat. As it usually happens, it happens here too. Dilated eyes meet, conversation begins. One thing leads to another and the female asks, "So, What do you Do ?" Young man, inexperienced that he is, proudly goes "I am a software engg. Currently, I am working on block-level asynchronous replication for remote-mirroring". The lady goes "Uh-huh, Interesting". And then "I gotta check-out this friend of mine. Excuse me".

Since then, whenever the young man is asked "What do you do ?", He replies that he works with the computer. Or a better one, is a hitch-hiker.
