The language teacher was telling the class about negatives.
"In English, and other languages like it, if you use two negatives in a
row, the sense is positive. There are other languages, like Russian,
where two negatives together are still negative, but there is no
language where two positives make a negative"
A voice from the back of the room said. "Yeah. Right."
==================================================
An older couple had a son, who was still living with his parents. The
parents were a little worried, as the son was still unable to decide
about his future career. They decided to do a small test.
They placed a ten-dollar bill, a bible, and a bottle of whiskey on the
front hall table, and hid, pretending they're not home. The father's
plan was: "If our son takes the money, he will be a businessman, if he
takes the bible, he will be a priest - but if he takes the bottle of
whiskey, I'm afraid our son will be a drunkard."
So, the parents waited nervously, hiding in the nearby closet. Peeping
through the keyhole they saw their son arrive. The son saw the note they
had left. Then, he took the 10-dollar bill, looked at it against the
light, and slid it in his pocket. After that, he took the bible, flicked
through it, and took it. Then, he grabbed the bottle, opened it and took
a whiff, to get assured of the quality. Then he left for his room,
carrying all the three items.
The father slapped his forehead, and said: "OH NO! Our son is going to
be a politician!"
