when pigs fly what are your thoughts

[swedeheart]

I have found the perfect gift for a friend of mine who likes pigs - she likes their general attitude :-D It's a cast iron pretty little pig with gilded wings. The expression when pigs fly does come to mind... so to me this gift is a hopeful symbol, saying: see, pigs do fly now and again! The "impossible" may happen.

We don't have that saying in Sweden but I'm going to tell her about the British/American one when she opens the box. My question for you is if there are any other connotations to the image of a flying pig that you would immediately think of. I don't mean google for me, I mean what are your immediate thoughts.
