Strangely enough, today I was given the cliche about 2 wrongs not making a right. I've always hated algebra but when I heard that I immediatelty thought of Jaime Escalante chanting "a negative times a negative equals a positive"

Two wrongs don't make a right... but sometimes a second wrong can make the first wrong a lot less wrong. :)
