If Judy Garland married Howdy Doody, she'd be Judy Doody.

Yes, they do refer to them as their legal consultants. This legal firm
was often used in "The Three Stooges" from the early 1930's. Where it
really originated is a mystery. Perhaps some Babalyonian clay tablets
where the Babalyonian phrase sounds and translates to "Mugem, Robem and
Dropem".
Cheers!
