Dewey, Cheatem & Howe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Dewey, Cheatem & Howe ("Do we cheat 'em? And how!") is the gag name of a fictional law firm or fictional accounting firm,[1] used in several parody settings. For example, a popular Three Stooges poster features the Stooges as bumbling members of such a firm (although the name was never used in an actual episode, "Dewey, Burnham, and Howe" was used). Similarly, mention of a firm by this name is employed by comic figures such as Johnny Carson, Groucho Marx, and Daffy Duck.
The name pokes fun at the perceived propensity of some lawyers to take advantage of their clients. Many law professors perversely work "Dewey, Cheatem & Howe" into the hypotheticals presented on final exams, especially in professional responsibility and legal ethics courses. The name is also used more broadly as a placeholder for any hypothetical law firm.[2][3][4][5][6]
The spelling of the second name varies somewhat, including Cheetem, Cheater, Cheethem and Cheatham.

The name of the DC&H corporate offices is visible on the third floor window above the corner of Eliot and JFK Streets, in Harvard Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Tom and Ray Magliozzi, of NPR's Car Talk radio program, named their business corporation "Dewey, Cheetham & Howe". Their corporate offices are located on a third-floor office in Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The office is clearly visible from the square, with lettering on the window readable from ground level. The Magliozzi brothers have asserted that they established the firm in 1989, although this assertion is immediately followed by the sentence "In all seriousness, we've had lot of fun along the way."[7]

The English equivalent of 'Dewey, Cheatem & Howe' is 'Dolittle & Dally'
