That's when you're naked, standing up with a pancake on your head and rubbing your tummy in a circular motion like Nanook.

BTW,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_the_needful

After gaining independence in 1947, Indian English took on a divergent evolution, and many phrases that other English speakers consider antiquated are still popular in India. The legacy of the East India Company and its practices still prevails in official correspondence in India. Official letters include phrases such as "please do the needful" and "you will be intimated shortly", which are directly lifted from East India Company correspondence from the seventeenth century.
