A linguistics professor was lecturing to his English class.
"In English," he said, "a double negative forms a positive. But in some languages, 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."

Of course, it might be argued that this is a question of tone and since English is an inflective language, it really doesn't count :P
