An MIT linguistics professor was lecturing his class the other day. “In 
English,” he said, “a double negative forms a positive. However, in some 
languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative. But there 
isn’t a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a 
negative.”

A voice from the back of the room piped up, “Yeah, right.”
