Since _some_ people have been suggesting that double negatives are bad:
A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day. Said he,
"In English, 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 weary voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."
