My mind was totally on track with Lisa. Only mine went a little more like:

A modern-day ark with 5 br, 3 bath, eat-in kitchen, and a basement big enough for two of every kind!

As Sara gazed out at what used to be their lawn, she turned to her still slumbering husband and said, "Ummm...Honey, when was the last time you checked that leaky pipe in the basement?"

"Why do these things always happen right after I fill up the car with gas?"

or

"Well, look at the bright side...you don't have to fix the sprinkler system now."
