Self Defence Against Fresh Fruit
"Self-Defence Against Fresh Fruit" is a Monty Python sketch that appeared in the episode "Owl Stretching Time". It is about an RSM-type instructor who is teaching a class about self-defence, but all he teaches is how to defend oneself against an assailant "armed" with a piece of fresh fruit.
The first half or so of the sketch was remade for the Pythons' first feature film, And Now for Something Completely Different.
