"I had a college professor who said that it's man's ability to use
language that makes him the dominant species on the planet. That may be.
But I think there's one other thing that separates us from animals. We
aren't afraid of vacuum cleaners." 

- Jeff Stilson

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.'
