Ain't Proper English Wonderful?

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," he pointed out, "there is no language wherein
a double positive can form a negative."

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