Such a stupid phrase, it should be stricken from English entirely. The exception can't prove the rule.

Off topic:

Not a stupid phrase, comes from the other meaning of 'prove'; to test. So the exception tests the rule. Or in other words, the exceptions that disproves the rule

Nobody uses "prove" in that way. I've never heard it used to mean "to demonstrate invalidity" in any other sentence.
