A linguistics professor was lecturing his class one day. 'In English,' he said, 'A double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative.

However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative. '

A loud voice from the back of the room piped up, 'Yeah, right. '
