Answer to the question: "How's your startup going?"

We all get this question a lot. I now have an answer that everyone can understand: My startup is like mission control in the movie "Apollo 13." There are a bunch of nerds running around talking intensely about things that nobody understands. Machines are lighting up making sounds that continually overturn the already chaotic nerd anthill. We've solved a number of complex problems with very limited resources and lots of duct tape. A bald guy is loosely in charge. (Specific to our startup.) We will probably not make it to the moon but if Tom Hanks and Kevin Bacon make it back alive it will be a huge success. They just went out of radio contact on the dark side of the moon and we won't know if we'll ever hear from them again. There are a number of huge outstanding issues that we will have to solve at the last minute. The ending will be very happy or very sad.
