Unless it is murder. Then it is no fun if it is genuine.

As a lawyer, I can usually argue both sides of an argument

It's part of the Law School admissions test. They give you a scenario in which there are 2 choices. You then select one choice and argue (write an essay) for that one. It doesn't matter which one you choose as long as you make a good argument. The trick is to show how the weak points in your choice are better than the strong points of the other choice.

Mine involved a downtown association that wanted to promote the businesses there. The choice was between a street fair/sidewalk sale and a charity auction at the civic center.

Structuring an argument is one of the things I learned in the MBA too. Those trying to go into Consulting need to develop that a lot too

Man: Is this the right room for an argument?

Other Man: I've told you once.

Man: No you haven't!

Other Man: Yes I have.

M: When?

O: Just now.

M: No you didn't!

O: Yes I did!

M: You didn't!

O: I did!

M: You didn't!

O: I'm telling you, I did!

M: You did not!

O: Oh I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?

M: Ah! (taking out his wallet and paying) Just the five minutes.

O: Just the five minutes. Thank you.

O: Anyway, I did.

M: You most certainly did not!

O: Now let's get one thing quite clear: I most definitely told you!

M: Oh no you didn't!

O: Oh yes I did!

M: Oh no you didn't!

O: Oh yes I did!

M: Oh no you didn't!

O: Oh yes I did!

M: Oh no you didn't!

O: Oh yes I did!

M: Oh no you didn't!

O: Oh yes I did!

M: Oh no you didn't!

O: Oh yes I did!

M: No you DIDN'T!

O: Oh yes I did!

M: No you DIDN'T!

O: Oh yes I did!

M: No you DIDN'T!

O: Oh yes I did!

M: Oh look, this isn't an argument!

(pause)

O: Yes it is!

M: No it isn't!

(pause)

M: It's just contradiction!

O: No it isn't!

M: It IS!

O: It is NOT!

M: You just contradicted me!

O: No I didn't!

M: You DID!

O: No no no!

M: You did just then!

O: Nonsense!

M: (exasperated) Oh, this is futile!!

(pause)

O: No it isn't!

M: Yes it is!

(pause)

M: I came here for a good argument!

O: AH, no you didn't, you came here for an argument!

M: An argument isn't just contradiction.

O: Well! it CAN be!

M: No it can't!

M: An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.

O: No it isn't!

M: Yes it is! 'tisn't just contradiction.

O: Look, if I *argue* with you, I must take up a contrary position!

M: Yes but it isn't just saying 'no it isn't'.

O: Yes it is!

M: No it isn't!

O: Yes it is!

M: No it isn't!

O: Yes it is!

M: No it ISN'T! Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says.

O: It is NOT!

M: It is!

O: Not at all!

M: It is!

(The Arguer hits a bell on his desk and stops.)

O: Thank you, that's it.

M: (stunned) What?

O: That's it. Good morning.

M: But I was just getting interested!

O: I'm sorry, the five minutes is up.

M: That was never five minutes just now!!

O: I'm afraid it was.

M: (leading on) No it wasn't.....

O: I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to argue any more.

M: WHAT??

O: If you want me to go on arguing, you'll have to pay for another five minutes.

M: But that was never five minutes just now!
Oh Come on!
Oh this is...
This is ridiculous!
O: I told you... I told you, I'm not allowed to argue unless you PAY!

M: Oh all right. (takes out his wallet and pays again.) There you are.

O: Thank you.

M: (clears throat) Well...

O: Well WHAT?

M: That was never five minutes just now.

O: I told you, I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid!

M: Well I just paid!

O: No you didn't!

M: I DID!!!

O: YOU didn't!

M: I DID!!!

O: YOU didn't!

M: I DID!!!

O: YOU didn't!

M: I DID!!!

O: YOU didn't!

M: I don't want to argue about it!

O: Well I'm very sorry but you didn't pay!

M: Ah hah! Well if I didn't pay, why are you arguing??? Ah HAAAAAAHHH! Gotcha!

O: No you haven't!

M: Yes I have! If you're arguing, I must have paid.

O: Not necessarily. I *could* be arguing in my spare time.

M: I've had enough of this!

O: No you haven't.

M: Oh shut up!

(Man leaves the office)

They have their own routine.

Bugs Bunny: Duck season.

Daffy Duck: Wabbit Seathon!

Bugs Bunny: Duck Season.

Daffy Duck: Wabbit Theathon!!

Bugs Bunny: Duck Season.

Daffy Duck: Wabbit Theathin!!

Bugs Bunny: Wabbit Theathon.

Daffy Duck: Duck Theathon!!!

Bugs Bunny: Wabbit Seathin.

Daffy Duck: I thay it’th duck seathon, and I say; ‘Fire! (he crosses his arms)

Elmer Fudd aims his gun at Daffy and shoots. Daffy’s bill spins round and round his head.

Daffy Duck: Hmm. (he zooms up to Bugs, and starts poking his chest) Let’th try that again.

Bugs Bunny: Okay.

Daffy Duck, now tapping his own chest: I’ll start it thith time.

Bugs Bunny: Right.

Daffy Duck, pushing the gun towards Bugs: Wabbit Seathin.

Bugs Bunny, pushing the gun back to Daffy: Duck Season.

Daffy Duck, pushing the gun back to Bugs: Wabbit Theathon.

Bugs Bunny, pushing the gun back to Daffy, then to himself: Wabbit Season.

Daffy Duck, pushing the gun to his own body: Duck Theathon, fire! (the gun fires at Daffy’s head and the smokes clears, showing us Daffy’s beak on the back of his head, which he twists around. Daffy starts poking Bugs again) Okay, thith time you thtart it.

Bugs Bunny: What ever you say (he pulls the gun towards himself) Wabbit.

Daffy Duck, grabbing the gun and pulling it towards himself: Duck, Fire!

We could devise therapy for him based on the test results.

Depends on whether you want to confine yourself to only one universe.
