I like the two answers above, John W. Householder and Sparlock, so I think I'll say, I'm Mrs. Sparlock. Or maybe, Mrs. Caleb Sparlock.

My standard response ...
"Hello So and so ... I'm an apostate, would you like to come in and learn a bit about your religion?"
They usually just walk away.

Paralipomenon
I was usually pretty quick on my feet and knew the teachings very well so I was often the person that they went to for last minute talks or presentations.
One day an elder comes up to me in the middle of the meeting and doesn't ask, but tells me I am going to be part of his demonstration. I was a bit irked, I don't mind doing it, but I appreciate being asked rather than told.
I didnt like this elder at all, in fact none of the teenagers did. We all joked that he was a child mollester since he would take all the young girls in his car group in service. Turn out we were right, but I digress.
I get called up for the demonstration and he opens with one of the anti conversation stoppers: "No doubt you already have your own religion, right?"
To which I reply that I was a very happy Hindu.
The congregation started laughing and this elder tried to recover: "But you must agree that the bible is a holy book, correct?"
I replied "Actually I prefer to follow the Vedas".
The congregation was in stitches and he stood there turning red. I could tell that he was half trying to think up the proper witness reply, the other half thinking about how he would love to punch me in the face.
He then excused me from the stage and proceeded to give the demonstration playing both sides. It was awkward to watch.
I got a reaming out after the meeting, but it was worth it.

para: ROFLMAO! Wish I could have been there.
Thanks for the other replies and wish I could post a proper response to each, but I've got run out the door with my unbaptized son to see if we can find something fun to do in San Francisco today.
Cheers,
