A linguistics professor was lecturing to 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 voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."
