Absolutely. It was just such a groan moment though, that I couldn't resist

Even the professional crossword setters can produce a groan now and then. Some that lodge in my mind:

Say no to litter! (6)

Charm way in? (7)

Ides novel? (11)

The devil, a saint and a seaman putting on a show (13)

Yes and yes on the first two, but you're too early on the first.

The devil, a saint and a seaman putting on a show (13)
Exit dark lady, topless (6)
Demonstrating, egress (is that second one allowed these days,,,?)
