Will work for Beer Nuts: Two lawyers have launched a legal trade group to assist the makers of craft beers and other alcoholic beverages negotiate the differing and complicated raft of state and federal laws that govern the growing industry (Page A11).
Take your pick:
Two lawyers walk into a bar, then walk out with a retainer.
How many lawyers does it take to form a trade group? Two: One to file the briefs; the other to buy the pitcher.
What do you call a lawyer after a bouncer tosses him out? Disbarred.

“Whaddya know,” remarked Heimlich. “It works.”
