{{quote|Ptraci defused the situation by grabbing Alfonz's arm as he was serving the pheasant.
"The Congress of the Friendly Dog and the Two Small Biscuits!" she exclaimed, examining the intricate tattoo. "You hardly ever see that these days. Isn't it well done? You can even make out the yoghurt." }}
* ''[[Lamb: The Gospel According To Biff|Lamb the Gospel According To Biff]]'' includes a sequence in India where, while Joshua is learning things like yoga from Gaspar the Magi, Biff learns a number of bizarre sexual positions from a prostitute. It's obviously a take on the Kama Sutra, but seeing as the real Kama Sutra doesn't have positions like "The Rhinoceros Balancing a Jelly Donut on its Horn"...

Upon seeing that it says "Backdoor Beauty?", the waitress (apparently a former prostitute) throws a fit.

* ''[[TheHeirs Shadowofof Alexandria|Shadow of the Lion]]'' has a position called the "twin Camellias", which involves a footstool and a number of cushions, and "could very well give a man a permanent back injury".
