{{quote|"With kryptonian muscles behind it, Kal-El's semen would emerge with the muzzle velocity of a machine gun bullet."}}
** (This appears to have been totally ignored by the modern-day [[DC Comics]] which have established Clark and Lois as a married couple who, presumably, have a non-lethal sex life.)
* In ''[[Angels
* Discussed in ''Zolang er leven is'' by Renate Dorrestein. A widower realises that there was nothing he could have done to prevent his wife's death, but he could have been making love to her instead of fighting.
* In [[Dan Brown]]'s ''[[Digital Fortress]]'', an obese man hires a prostitute. Because [[Incredibly Lame Pun|they came into]] possession of a {{spoiler|ring}} that the hitman was tracking down, {{spoiler|they were murdered while in the act, as the hitman's instructions were to kill anyone who had even seen the ring}}.

== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* On an episode of ''[[M*A*S*H (television)|Mash]]'', a visiting general goes [[Out with a Bang]] with Major Houlihan... [[Hilarity Ensues]] as the general's aide de camp spends the second half of the episode trying to find a battle into which he can bring the general's corpse. The idea, of course, is that instead of going [[Out with a Bang]], the general -- in the public eye -- will Go Out With a *BANG*.
* Forms the basis of the plot of at least one episode of ''[[CSI]]'', with rather roundabout complications.
** In this episode, the main suspect, {{spoiler|a very overweight woman, accidentally suffocates her partner when she passes out drunk on top of him. The woman actually told the police that she smothered him with a pillow, because she said she would rather confess to murder than suffer through the jokes that would be made about her because of the true nature of the victim's death. Believe it or not, the show handled this with a degree of sensitivity}}.
