Example 2
John: You and Karen were pretty drunk last night. I knew you were friends, but I wasn't expecting the two of you to go home together.

After having sexual intercourse with a woman, when the man forgets to pull out and accidently ejaculates inside the woman and the woman becomes very upset, the man will say to the woman, "Dont worry, for I am the Highlander". Since the highlander can't get women pregnant this is a good way to shut the said woman up. If the woman is unconvinced the man can then grab a fork and shove it in a electrical socket and while being electrocuted he can scream 'THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!"
Hey man, I forgot to pullout of my girlfriend last night but it's alright 'cuz I used "The Highlander" trick.
