In this well-known Monty Python skit, a man (Michael Palin) walks into a clinic and purchases a five-minute "argument". This sketch appeared in episode 29 of the Monty Python's Flying Circus TV show and may be found on a number of Monty Python albums and videotapes. After you watch the video below, discuss whether the man actually received what he paid for: an argument. You might discuss what are the necessary conditions (if it does not have these features, then it is not an argument) and sufficient conditions (if it has these features, then it is an argument) of an argument, and whether the argument in the video, if it is indeed one, is it valid and sound. If you were the man, would you have been satisfied with the argument you received?
