Here is an argument. Please take all the time necessary to make up your mind about it...

No monkey is a giraffe;
No giraffe is an elephant;
No elephant is a squid;
No squid is a monkey;
Joe is either an elephant, a monkey or a squid;
Joe is neither an elephant nor a giraffe;
Therefore, Joe is a monkey.

Once you think you have it figured out, thank you to vote to say whether you accept this argument as valid or not (i.e. logically valid).

Please note I'm interested in whether you personally accept the argument as valid.

Thank you for your answers.

Please, no comment without vote.
