Great analogy!
It might as well be...
"Sir...yes...I am hunting and have a gun in my hand but not sure how to use it....it seems jammed when I pull the trigger and can not get it to fire....can you help?....wait....let me look in the end and see if something is jammed up in there....you just keep talking while I jiggle this trigger thingy and look busy so my friends don't find out I have never been hunting before...."
You: "Sir!!!.....sir!!!....are you still there?!?!? ....sir!....."
