* In the softcore ''Film/YoungLadyChatterleyII'', Cynthia's lesbian masseuse gives her hand relief when she gets a bit too excited describing the perfect lover she's seeking (though the masseuse doesn't look happy at hearing that "manly" is one of the attributes). Cynthia is a bit confused when the masseuse asks afterwards how her shoulder is (what she originally came there for).

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'', Stumpy and Quack-Quack get arrested for robbing Mr. Cat's bank, and Kaeloo is the police officer who arrests them for the crime. Mr. Cat decides to take the opportunity to ask Kaeloo on a date and uses an UnusualEuphemism about "cashing checks" to imply sexual activities. Kaeloo thinks that he means literal checks, and punishes him for trying to bribe a police officer.

We were going to call this one "Solicitation Mistaken for Help", but this is snappier.
Basically, when a given character needs help ([[ThisBedOfRoses a place to stay]], whatever), is approached by a prostitute who speaks with perhaps too much metaphor, and thinks her solicitation is an offer for assistance.

* Before Creator/KalPenn publicly came out as gay, he described in his memoir this one time he told a friend how hard it was to meet other men, and the friend set him up with a "manager" who could help. Penn met the man, whom he ''thought'' ran a dating service, but it turned out he was actually a pimp who specialized in male escorts for high-profile closeted gay men. Penn quickly clarified that he wasn't looking for ''that'' kind of help.
