That reminds me of an old joke.  Two guys who know each other meet on
the street.  One of them has a dog on a leash.  The other guy asks
"Where did youget that dog?"  "I just found him on the street a few days
ago" answers the dog owner.  "What's his name" continues the first man.
"I do not know" replies the second "he refuses to tell me."
