Yeah, right.

A linguistics professor was lecturing to his English 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. "
