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, there is
no language wherein a double positive can form a negative."
A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."
And if that is not amusing enough for you, we offer this:
What did Winnie the Pooh say to his agent?
"Show me the honey!"
