The situation reminds me of the story about two blokes walking down a busy metropolitan street. One of them keeps snapping his fingers and every ten paces spins around and yells "Oy." The second chap asks him what he's doing it for. The first one replies, "It keeps the elephants away."
"But there aren't any bloody elephants around here!" Yells the second bloke.
"I know, it working, isn't it?"
