* ''[[Discworld]]'':
*
*** In ''[[Discworld/Guards Guards|Guards Guards]]'', a naive Carrot ends up living in a house of "seamstresses" due to this sort of misunderstanding. He mentions that his first night there one of the girls asked if he wanted anything, but they had no apples, so he said no.
***
*** Similarly, in ''[[Discworld/Night Watch|Night Watch]]'', there is an actual seamstress who is often confused for the other type.
*** In ''[[Discworld/Reaper Man|Reaper Man]]'', Windle Poons, a newly resurrected zombie, is asked by a "seamstress" if he's looking for a good time. He's somewhat addled by the fact that he can see and hear clearly for the first time in decades, and accepts her offer without thinking about it. She runs away when she gets a good look at him, though.
** In ''[[Discworld/Interesting Times|Interesting Times]]'', Rincewind is approached by several beautiful, scantily-clad women who explicitly say that all of their men have died out and they need his help repopulating their island. However, due to years of living alone on a desert island, Rincewind's mind has deteriorated somewhat and he thinks they're offering to make him some mashed potatoes.
* This happens in ''[[Don Quixote]]''.{{context}}
