During a lecture a linguistics professor said to his students, "In english, a double negative forms a positive. For example, 'He doesn't have no apples' actually means he does have apples. in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative is actually still a negative. How ever, there is NO language in which a double positive can form a negative"
Just then, one of his students huffed and said "Yeah, right..."
