Not surprising there'd be a few double positives in the brew as well.
A professor was giving a lecture in linguistics, and explained that in English, a double negative makes a positive, but in Russian a double negative is still a negative. However, he continues, there is no language in which a double positive make a negative. A Scots voice pipes up from the back "Aye, right!"
