I try at all costs to avoid the question, 'What do you want to talk about' since people invariably want to talk about something painfully dull (themselves) rather than conversing about something fiendishly interesting (me). Another good question to avoid is 'How are you', unless you're prepared to listen to a litany of woe that would make a granite statue try to slit its wrists.
