Transcript:
Pig: What do you have there, Rat? Rat: A person. I got him at the person store. Pig: Is he hard to care for? Rat: Not really. You just give him a flatscreen and ESPN and he'll sit there for hours. Want to give him a treat?
Don’t remember which show, but there was once a sketch on TV where some women went to The Men Store. One asked to see something in navy, and got a sailor. There was a bunch of odd-looking guys in a pile on a table, with a sign that read “Irregulars.”
Ooh! Can I have one, too? Lots of “treats” will keep them totally happy sitting parked in front of the flatscreen! ‘Course, they do need to be “walked” every so often. Yes, it’s a big responsibility; the food and “treats” can become quite expensive….
Exotic pet humans watch Romanian new wave movies and are fed bruschetta and goat cheese with a nice, slightly fruity California pinot noir. Actually, that sounds pretty good. Where do I sign up?
They’re not as easy to care for as they look. You’ll come home from work one day and he’ll have escaped from his tank.You’ll find him later, playing around with power tools in the garage.

Somehow I don’t believe that Rat would give up his beer as a treat for any pet.
