== [[Literature]] ==
* In the book series ''[[Clue (game)|Clue]]'' (based on the game of the same name), Mr Boody was stabbed in book 5 by {{spoiler|Miss Scarlet}}. He comes back in book 6, saying that a wallet full of money saved his life.
* Spoofed in the [[Discworld]] novel ''[[Discworld/Jingo|Jingo]]'': Sergeant Colon recalls how a book of prayers kept an arrow from entering his great-grandfather's chest. Unfortunately, said book didn't stop "the other seventeen arrows". In response, Nobby briefly wears the Book of Om, a holy book that is five inches thick and wide enough to cover his entire chest in this manner. He reckoned that "even a longbow could only get an arrow as far as the ''Apocrypha''".
* ''[[Peter Pan]]'': The arrow the Lost Boys shoot at Wendy doesn't kill her because it hits an acorn button Wendy was wearing around her neck after Peter gave it to her as a present.
* In ''The Secret Diary of [[Adrian Mole]], Aged 13¾'', Bert Baxter shows Adrian a pocket Bible with a bullet hole, which, he claims, saved his life in [[World War I]]. Adrian notices that the Bible was printed in 1956.
