Does A Double Positive Equal A Negative?
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."
