Just a random thought. For years Ive wondered what it meant, growing up in a mostly German way it was just something we said, I was told several times by my grandpa what it meant but never really remembered. I decided to look up the story and this is what I found.
That it was about a man named Hans Hummel, the last water carrier in Hamburg for whom families did not have any plumbing yet, the children of the area would chase after him and shout "Hummel, Hummel" and he would reply: "Morse, Morse" (Ass, Ass). If you visit Hamburg you will see 100 colorful Hummel, Hummel statues all around Hamburg. Heres a few pictures from when I went. 
I think both of these were in the Hamburg Hauptbahnhoff, (train station)
