empty jquery element

Question

Is there an elegant way to create an empty jquery element (versus null) ?

$myEmptyElement = $("#ThisIdDoesNotExist234343");

The rational is not checking later on for null.

Later we do :

$myEmptyElement.destroy();

Sure:

var $emptyElement = $();

Why would you want one, though?
