{{examples}}

* In ''[[I Am Sam]]'', Sam, a mentally handicapped single father, mistakes a streetwalker's mockery for a promise to help him raise his daughter. He is then arrested for soliciting her services.

* Reversed in the movie ''[[The House Bunny]]''. The policeman asks the [[Playboy Bunny|Bunny]] to "blow" and... well... she doesn't quite understand that he's trying to check her alcohol content.

== Jokes ==

* An engineering student approaches his friends at lunch one day riding up on a beautiful new bicycle. "Wow," says one of his friends, "where'd you get that bike?" The engineering student says, "Strangest thing. On my way back from class this morning, a gorgeous woman rode up on a bike, got off it, took off all her clothes and threw them on the ground, and told me, 'Take whatever you want!'" His friend nods sagely. "Good choice. Her clothes probably wouldn't have fit."

 

* ''[[Discworld]]'':

** Happens to men who approach the [[Band of Brothels|Guild of Seamstresses]] to have their socks darned:

* This happens in ''[[Don Quixote]]''.{{context}}

 

* ''[[Regenesis]]'': Bob Melnikov, while in New York, goes in a back street to rehearse a speech he's about to give. A prostitute approaches him, and he doesn't understand for what reason. Fortunately for him, she's a [[Hooker with a Heart of Gold]], and she does help him.

* ''[[My Name Is Earl]]'' in the [[Rashomon Style|antique silverware episode]]. Randy was told to wait around the station and ask people if they had "the package"; a gay guy misinterprets this.

* A hilarious subversion of this happens to [[Handsome Lech|Mateo]] in ''[[Benidorm]]''. Mateo has to dress up in drag for a double date, and has to wait outside a bar for a few minuites. An [[Dirty Harriet|undercover cop]] shows up, asking if s/he has a place to go. A lot of non-entendres later ("I have to get out of these pants" (They were itchy)), and he is promptly arrested.

 

* In ''[[Fallout|Fallout 3]]'', one of the joinable [[NPC]]s is Clover, an insane killer prostitute that you can own as a slave. When you strike up a conversation, she asks if she "can do anything for... or to... you." Sadly [[No Hugging, No Kissing|your responses are entirely on the lines of tactics and gear management.]]

 

* ''[[Get Medieval]]'': Asher, lost in medieval Avignon, has a girl come to him and offer him "a warm bed to spend the night in". Being a clueless nerd, he considers it an invitation to sleep at her place. The trope is subverted at a later stage, as when they meet again in different circumstances, she does offer her help.

* In ''[[RPG World]]'', this is how Diane ends up joining the party.

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20120818192738/http://www.robandelliot.cycomics.com/archive.php?id=225%2F This page] of ''[[Rob and Elliot]]'' is a magnificent aversion.

 

* Played with in Episode 3 of [[Manwhores]] when a woman pulls up to Kevin, newly starting out his career:

{{quote|'''Kevin''': "You...uh, looking for a jump?"

'''Woman''': "Get in." }}

 

* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'': Subverted in the episode "The Cartridge Family". When Marge takes Bart, Lisa and Maggie to a motel because Homer is acting [[Trigger Happy]], Bart is asked by a prostitute "are you looking for a good time?" He is (as always), but not in the manner she means, and Marge pulls him away before any [[Hilarity Ensues|Hilarity can Ensue]].

* The pilot episode of ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'' has a prostitute asking Hank and Dean if they're looking for some action. Being rather sheltered boy adventurers, they reply that they're always looking for action! And adventure!
