I know these lines are attempted all the time...but it is rare to catch them live.
This was on the Boston Center GDM36 sector some time yesterday - free copy of LiveATC iPhone app to the first person to find this gem.
My best recollection:
Pilot: "Wow, did you just get your hair done?"
(Female) Controller: "As a matter of fact, I did."
Pilot: "Looks great, can I get direct NNNNN?"
Controller: "<Callsign>, cleared direct NNNNN"
Wish I had written the time down but I was driving.
