There is a wonderfully dialectical joke in Lubitsch's Ninotchka. The hero visits a cafeteria and orders coffee without cream, to which the waiter replies: 'Sorry, but we have run out of cream. Can I bring you coffee without milk?' In both cases, the customer gets coffee alone, but this One-coffee is each time accompanied by a different negation, first coffee-with-no-cream, then coffee-with-no-milk.
