* Used in ''[[The Last Continent]]'', with a twist: The questioner is the God of Evolution, and the explainers are a bunch of wizards who have managed to travel back in time to before sex was even invented. Ponder is trying to explain to the aforementioned god why things don't work in ones, and how babies could be made, but the conversation screeches to a halt when the topic of sex is broached. It is left to Mrs. Whitlow (the housekeeper of Unseen University who has been hauled along for the ride) to explain things, leading a few of the wizards to ask if anyone knows what happened to ''Mr.'' Whitlow.
* In ''[[Cat's Cradle]]'', a secretary relates a story of the time Dr. Felix Hoenikker bet her she could not tell him anything that was completely objectively true. When she responded with "God is Love", he simply asked "What is Love?" and considered the bet won.
* In [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s ''[[Stranger in Aa Strange Land]]'', Michael ([[Blue and Orange Morality|having been raised by aliens]]) takes a long time to catch on to human emotions. He has the worst time with love and humor.
