As I distribute my card, the most common question I run into is
"what does MySQL AB do?"

But I've been thinking a bit, and perhaps a better quip might be
"you know what the Central Intelligence Agency is, right? Well,
we are the most popular database system used by the Decentralized
Intelligence Agency, as it were."
