When I was about 10, I noticed that Tarzan used the same AAAHHH-EEEE-AHHH! yell, no matter what the situation. When he needed the elephants, the yell brought elephants. When he needed help from the giraffes, the same yell brought giraffes.
Little did I know that decades later, this technique would become ensconced in Constitutional law.
