"is it possible for a woman to get pregnant without intercourse?" Tom Waits - an intro to Train Song from Big Time

"well... look, i think the question i get asked the most is... i mean, it happens a lot. enough that i would remark on it.

a lot of people come up to me and they say, 'tom, is it possible for a woman to get pregnant without intercourse?'

and my answer is always the same. i say, 'well, listen. we're gonna have to go all the way back to the civil war.' apparently, a stray bullet actually pierced the testicle of a union soldier, and then lodged itself in the ovaries of an eighteen year old girl, who was actually a hundred feet from him at the time. well, the baby was fine. she was very happy, guilt free and... of course, the soldier was a little pissed off. when you think about it, it's actually a form of intercourse, but... not for everyone. those who love action maybe."
