I am a math professor by day, fan off all sorts of strange things by night, and dad and husband throughout it all.  Apparently, I have ALL the conversation stoppers at parties or when being introduced to people:

“What do you teach?”… “Math” … “Oh.”  <Awkward silence.>

“What kind of music do you like?”… “Heavy metal.” … “Oh.”  <Awkward silence.>

“What kind of movies do you like?”… “Horror.” … “Oh.”  <Awkward silence.>

“What are you reading right now?”… “Comics.” … “Oh.”  <Awkward silence.>

“What’s your favorite kind of TV show?”… “Pro wrestling.” … “Oh.”  <Awkward silence.>
