On one occasion, [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Captain Picard]] simply ordered the ship to warp on ''any'' course, when trying to escape from a [[Negative Space Wedgie]].
* ''[[MASHM*A*S*H (television)|M*A*S*H]]'' (TV Series) -: When Trapper and Hawkeye realize they've cut the wrong wire in an unexploded bomb.
