I like to go for David Suzuki's thought experiment with a test tube containing bacteria
and nutrient medium that double in population every minute. Then the room / floor and other
considerations are moot.

And remember, there are 10 kinds of people.

Jan mentioned points and lines being easy, with an analogy to data and spreadsheets.
THink of an RDB as a 3 dimensional spreadsheet, then it becomes easier to grasp.
