Double Positive Negative

A linguistics professor was lecturing to his English 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, “Yes, right.”
