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."
Thanks!
Thanks!
Answer
This ones actually funny!
The line that says - However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative.
is technically wrong because the punchline - "Yeah, right." both words, yeah, and right, are both positives or affirmative words, but when said together is a sarcastic remark.
