Linguistics
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," he pointed out, "there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative." A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

Sure a double positive cannot create a negative, have you ever heard that plus times plus is a minus???? this is against the general logic of any language, as far as I know, who was your prof???? to say such a nonsence???
Ummm... it was a joke dude...
LOL .... that one had me in stitches. Then I saw dalibor's comment and I cracked up all over again.
