I have to say, that was a pretty stupid question..
Actually, while the chances are low and I would recommend against it, the chances are definitely not 0%.

I'm pretty sure I recall one time my wife wasn't aware that her passport was expired until we got to the border, but she got let through anyway.

Another time, not quite the same, but I had an enhanced driver's license, and this was really new at the time. Amazingly, the US border guard did not believe it was a valid document for proving citizenship. Even though she thought this and threatening that she could ask me to go in to prove my citizenship, she let me go across. Essentially, she let me go across with what she believed to only be a drivers license.
