A policeman asks a subject of his investigation, "What's your name?" The criminal knows there is an arrest warrant out for him under his real name so he doesn't want to say his real name. He knows if he does that the policeman will arrest him and take him to jail. So the criminal responds, "Puddin' tame." Ask me again and I'll tell you the same."
