{{quote|"* A message from the author. Not all cauldrons are metal. You can boil water in a leather cauldron, if you know what you are doing. You can even make tea in a paper bag if you are careful and know how to do it. But please don't, or if you do, [[Plausible Deniability|don't tell anyone I told you]]."}}
** [[Call Back|One of the Tiffany Aching books had a Feegle queen boiling water in a leather cauldron.]]
* Another Pratchett example: ''[[Nation]]'' features an afterword discussing the truth behind some implausible-sounding things that happen in the story; most of them are accompanied with warnings that you should not try this at home. The last one ends, instead, with "Whether you try it at home is up to you." That last one is "Thinking."
* [[Stephen Colbert]]'s ''I Am America (And So Can You!)'' After a comment that the father's role in the family is as protector, so all men should sleep with a 9mm under their pillow and "wake up firing" at any sign of movement:
{{quote|'''PUBLISHER'S DISCLAIMER:''' [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|DO NOT SLEEP WITH A 9MM UNDER YOUR PILLOW AND SHOOT AT SHADOWS IMMEDIATELY UPON WAKING]].
'''''([[Footnote Fever|Margin note]]:''''' ''Do it.)'' }}
** [[Footnote Fever]] struck again when Stephen huffed Axe body spray on screen.
