Double Positive

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. There is no language, however, in which a double positive can form a negative."

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