The only reason they were callsed “right whales” is because they were the right ones to hunt. They were so full of valuable whale oil they floated to the surface after being killed, and their baleen was used for dress hoops and other purposes. For these poor creatures, being “right” was definitely wrong.

And 2 negatives do make a positive (Don’t have none means you DO have some) – but never do 2 positives make a negative.
(Voice from back of room): Yeah, right!
