If you really don't want to talk about it then throw them off the scent first.

I occassionally tell people that I'm a 'Bouncy Castle repair man', people always say 'Really?' or something similar. I respond by admitting 'I'm not really, but it's far more interesting than the computer job I do'.

I find people just move on from there, as they get the hint I don't want to talk about what I do.
