On a couple of occasions, I've been hit with the question "What do you do for fun?"  This is really a borderline illegal question because you aren't supposed to reveal religious affiliations and such, nor can the employer discriminate on the basis of it.  So my question to you guys is this:  Have any of you encountered this question, and if so, (or even if not), what is your answer to it?
 
I usually say books, movies and fishing, and leave out other things, like surfing the net.

I say similar things, or business related things. I'm on the board of directors for my credit union, so I may mention that, or pro bono work that I've done. Or if you travel, you can say you're into traveling and you recently visited______ . Keep it benign.
