We did an FSBO in New Jersey. With 3 kids and no pets we needed a bigger house. A very serious, snobby, straight laced woman woman from NYC was looking over the house and asked if I had a dog. I said no, and to be funny I added, "I didn't want anything in the house that did't look like me." Instantaneously, she said "I can find a dog that looks like you.".

That's pretty funny.

I'll bet she could too. She didn't buy the house, and I guess I would have felt bad for the neighbors if she did.
