If it helps, I got it. But then again, I've been told my sense of humor is warped too. For a second, though, I thought you might be calling us crybabies.

Nope.... just thought I'd add a "WHY" in there.

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
. . .
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
That song made me want to puke every time it came on the radio. Thank God I discovered FM.
I guess I was the OP here, so I don't have to apologize for the thread hijack.
Regards,
D-Ray

Why? Oh,Why? Oh, Why? Oh.
Why did I ever leave Ohio?
*******
Why do birds sing so gay?
And lovers await the break of the day?
Why do they fall in love?

No, that's quite different. To write a report saying the stimulus has worked, using your analogy, would be like the coach and the team in the locker room at half time trying to celebrate a victory, while the scoreboard still shows them trailing by at least a touchdown.
To put a finer point on it, lets assume the team that's leading is the New Orleans Saints, and the team that's down by a touchdown is the Detroit Lions (by history, not a team that has ever been a great 3rd or 4th quarter team).

No it would be like a coach at half time sticking with the game plan because it is working. Problem is although it is working they were down by 3 scores when the "new game" started.
Speaking of football, it's almost here!
