Funny Craigslist ad

I just saw this on Craigslist and thought it was funny. If you have ever browsed Craigslist pet section, you'll get the humor in it:

Please help! After two long years of being on a waiting list for a dog, we have
been notified by breed rescue that, at long last, our number has come up and ...
WE ARE HAVING A PUPPY!

We must get rid of our children IMMEDIATELY because we just know how time
consuming our new little puppy is going to be and it just wouldn't be fair to
the children. Since our little puppy will be arriving on Monday we MUST place
the children up for adoption this weekend!

They are described as:

One male -- his name is Tommy, Caucasian (English/Irish mix), light blonde hair,
blue eyes. Four years old. Excellent disposition. He doesn't bite. Temperament
tested. Does have problems with peeing directly in the toilet. Has had chicken
Pox and is current on all shots. Tonsils have already been removed. Tommy eats
everything, is very clean, house trained and gets along well with others. Does
not run with scissors and with a little training he should be able to read soon.

One female -- her name is Lexie, Caucasian (English/Irish mix), strawberry
blonde hair, green eyes quite freckled. Two years old. Can be surly at times.
Non-biter, thumb sucker. Has been temperament tested but needs a little attitude adjusting occasionally. She is current on all shots, tonsils out, and is very healthy and can be affectionate. Gets along well with other little girls and
little boys but does not like to share her toys and therefore would do best in a
one child household. She is a very quick learner and is currently working on her
house training. Shouldn't take long at all.

We really do LOVE our children so much and want to do what's right for them.
That is why we contacted a rescue group. But we simply can no longer keep them.
Also, we are afraid that they may hurt our new puppy.

I hope you understand that ours is a UNIQUE situation and we have a real
emergency here! They MUST be placed into your rescue by Sunday night at the
latest or we will be forced to drop them off at the orphanage or along some
dark, country road. Our priority now has to be our new puppy.

$10 rehoming fee but price is very negotiable.

PS - If you laughed or understood the seriousness of this posting, please re-post
it in other areas of the country as well as continue to re-post it. It doesn't
matter how quickly it was flagged the point is that SOMEONE SOMEWHERE will have read it and thought about it for a minute.

:8: LOL This is funny in a really weird sort of twisted way.

LOL email them and inquire, negotiatie the $10 rehoming fee

it is sad tho cuz you see this all the time. some lady was having a baby and needed to get rid of her cornsnake, she had it for about 5 years i think. i offered to adopt and care for it and then return it when she was ready and settled and she only got angry. she said she knew all about the diseases that get passed on to babies and how they bite and all that crap and how she thought i was a creep who only wanted a free snake. i gave her and her husband a verbal face slap for being so stupid. i hate people

LOL that was great! Very thought provoking. :gj:

That ad has been running in our craigslist too :P
