Oh, I got this one last weekend:
Them: Why didn't you apply to Brown?
Me: Considered it, but their research interests weren't well aligned with my own. It's too competitive to risk.
Them: But you probably would have gotten in pretty easily if you just pointed out that your last name is Brown and then pretend like you are a great, great, great, great, great granddaughter of the person it was named after.
Me: Wow... Great idea. But not sure it works that way!
