It occurs to me I should perhaps have explained that for folk who don't get the cultural differences.
The FT is a UK business newspaper. In the UK and much of the rest of the world, a solicitor is a lawyer. In the UK, however, the phrase 'to solicit' refers to seeing a prostitute. Hence going from Attorney General to common Solicitor.
I guess if a joke needs that much of an explanation, it's probably not that funny :)
