"Billing legal hours like truffle pigs."

Sometimes a turn of phrase jumps out at the reader.  One example of this is found in this New York Times article about the legal woes facing David Adjmi.  Mr. Adjmi, a playwright and University of Iowa alum, is in the news because his latest play 3C has received a cease-and-desist letter from lawyers representing the producers (more accurately, the children of the producers) of the 70s TV show Three's Company.  The producers are unhappy about the similarities between 3C and Three's Company and think that Mr. Adjmi's play is not a fair use parody of Three's Company.
