"In some languages, like English, a single negative means a negative, as in 'I have nothing'," the professor said. "And in some languages, like Spanish, a double negative means a negative, as in 'No hay nada' ('There is nothing'). So in some languages one negative makes a negative, and in some languages two negatives make a negative, but in NO language do two POSITIVES make a negative."

From the back of the room came this reply, "Yeah, right!"

How many times have you approached an intersection......you have just a few yards to make a turn......you turn to your wife and ask "Left?" and she replies "Right".

Don't forget about parking in a driveway and driving on a parkway.

Also that flammable and inflammable mean the same thing.
