Oddest Craigslist Ad in a Long Time

This may sound like a strange request, but after all, this is Craigslist.
I'm looking for someone that owns a small pig. I would like to "rent" your pig for an hour or two only. You see, i'm trying to teach my 5 year old that if they don't clean their rooms, pigs will move in. So the idea is that i want to put a pig in his room one day, and when he comes home from school or what not, there will be a live pig hanging out in there. That's really it. We'd take some picture of my boy & the pig, and then he'd go back to his home. I'm happy to pay you for this. I can pick up the pig and drop him back off, or you can deliver and pick up if you want. I will absolutely take good care of the animal, and it will not be harmed or abused in any way. A house pet would be best, and the pig needs to be friendly!
Thanks for your consideration.

I guess he does. Or maybe a Vietnamese Pot-Bellied Pig, which are gentle and sometimes kept as pets.

He does not want a wild pig, I'm sure!

To clarify, it's not my ad; I just saw it and shared it.

And speaking of barbecue...yum. Anyone else had a Hawaiian style pig roast where the performers sometimes perform a firewalk afterwards on the coals?
