Whisky Works – As the Barrel Turns (Episode 19)

This week, we learned that the elves put their tiny little heads together and instituted a (lower) class action against As the Barrel Turns, not for the bad puns or weak story lines, but because they want a share of the profits.

So, we brought in our lawyer, John Smart, who was called to the bar 32 years ago and never left. When his law school dean said, “Always remember, doctors have affairs; lawyers drink.” Smart took this advice literally — as do most lawyers. (Right Phil?)

Smart assures us the elves don’t have a leg to stand on.

We heave a sigh of relief as Smart files a defense and presents his briefs.

Although the ruling may well be overturned on an appeal, the barrel wasn’t. Smart executed a legal right turn and …

left us his bill that guarantees only he will see a share of the profits.
