* Terry Pratchett's ''[[Discworld/Soul Music|Soul Music]]'' hangs a lampshade on it when describing the carriage crash that kills the heroine's parents. In fact, due to ''Discworld'''s [[Theory of Narrative Causality|Law Of Narrative Causality]], this happens in every single crash. Not just the ones featured in the books - ''every'' one.
{{quote| ''Then the oil from the coach lamps ignites and there is a second explosion, out of which rolls -- because there are certain conventions, even in tragedy -- a burning wheel.''}}
** Analogously, whenever a waiter drops plates or some similar accident occurs, there is always one undamaged plate that rolls out of the wreckage (as mentioned in ''Hogfather'').
