Joke of the Month: 2 for the Price of 1

An MIT linguistics professor lectured his class the other day …

“In English, a double negative forms a positive,” he explained. “However, in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative. But there isn’t a single language — not one — in which a double positive can express a negative.”

A voice from the back of the room called out, “Yeah, right.”

• Thanks to Jan McCallum, who recognizes grammar when she sees it.

OK and one more …

A preacher, a priest and a rabbi walk into a bar. The astonished bartender asks, “What is this, some kind of joke?”
