A linguistics professor was lecturing his class. "In
English," he explained, "a double negative forms a positive.
In some languages, such as Russian, a double negative is
still a negative. However," the professor continued, "there
is no language wherein a double positive can form a
negative."
A voice from the back of the room piped up. "Yeah, right."
