*** [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/breadbasket Yeast bowl], you say?

** "I'm the only one around who might be inclined to twiddle your handle again." from ''Thief of Time''. {{spoiler|Susan was indeed talking about turning a handle, as the person she was addressing had a wind-up time-storage device on his back, and he needed it to be kept wound so that he wouldn't fall victim to the frozen time affecting the rest of the Discworld.}}

{{quote|"Madam," he said coldly, "I am an officer of the Watch and I must warn you that the course of action you are suggesting breaks the laws of the city--" and also of several of the more strait-laced gods, he added silently "--and I must advise you that his Lordship should be released unharmed immediately--"}}

* In ''[[The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy (novel)|So Long And Thanks For All The Fish]]'', Ford Prefect is approached by a woman who offers him a good time and says she has a special service for rich people to make them happy. It turns out that her special service is to tell rich people that it's perfectly alright to be rich and they shouldn't feel guilty about it (she has a degree in psychology and economics and so can sound pretty convincing).

* Parodied in ''[[Bigger Than Cheeses]]'' ([http://www.biggercheese.com/index.php?comic=418 NWS link]) and ''PVP'': when a character overhears a conversation that sounds like two people having sex, the [[Genre Savvy]] eavesdropper displays awareness of this trope and avoids leaping to conclusions, only for it to be revealed that the overheard characters genuinely were having sex.

** ''[[PvP (webcomic)|PvP]]'' had [[Running Gag|about a week straight of these types of gags]], including Skull thinking it meant Brent was actually a [[Superhero]], and culminating in Cole getting [[Genre Savvy]] and saying he knew they were just moving a desk around... except that time Brent and Jade actually ''were'' having sex in the office.

* Another example is [http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/comic.php?strip_id=90 this] ''[[Flaky Pastry]]'' strip.

* Used in an ''[[RPG World]]'' comic, turning out to be one of the characters struggling to put on a shirt that's too small for him with the help of one of the other party members, accompanied by an almost apologetic note from the author.

* In the ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' episode "The Remains of the Platypus", there is a scene where it is made to look like Perry (who was transformed into a butler) was shaving Doofenshmirtz's groin area... except the camera zooms out and we see Doof with a towel and Perry is shaving his legs.

 

* A famous postcard had a nerdy guy next to an apparently blushing young woman: The text says, "Do you like [[Rudyard Kipling|Kipling?]] To which she responds "I don't know, you naughty boy, I've never kipled!"
