Julie,

I use golf and bowling too and am usually able to quickly explain the whole CIC and permanent hits in comp. People pick up on that quickly.

Maybe it's just me, but people are usually turned off if you say it's too complicated to explain-their response is usually something like, well if you think I'm that stupid, why should I bother listening to you? On the other hand, if they get the idea you trust their intelligence, they seem to put a bit more effort into trying to understand what it is you are saying.
