Pete is from New Jersey where "ON THE LAM" is a cop term. It means to basically go away to a hide out in a secret spot till things settle down. Perfect boat name for a crooked cop like Pete! Now, if he were from say Auburn like Frank from HOME OFFICE, then it would be spelled differently "ON THE LAMB"(the man can't spell) and have a different meaning. It would require a sheep, a pair of rubber boots (AKA sheep screwers) and a couple of small Jack Russels and a wife watching.
