Default Mic cord wrapped around boom arm

I am just curious as to how many people out there wrap the mic cord around the boom arm when playing out. EVERY gig I've ever been to with a "pro" sound guy has it done.

Where I play, I often need to hand the mic off to a speaker and so I do not wrap my cord. I simply tuck it into the notch of my DR Pro wingnut.

And, is it really necessary to do it at all? If the mic stand gets knocked over, the mic is still gonna hit the ground, and if the mic pops off the XLR connector, I can't see the point.

Anxiously awaiting your thoughts...
