That's quite redundant and could be reduced to a simple (A OR B).
I'm sure you mean the following instead:

   A   B   (NOT (A AND B)) AND (A OR B)
   0   0   0
   1   0   1
   0   1   1
   1   1   0

Indeed, it is a typical (lame :-)) joke by first semester computer
science students to answer 'yes' to a question like: 'Will you eat at
the cafeteria or did you bring something yourself?'.

I think my Tyl Sjok is worst in this respect: it only has one
coordination particle.  If used without anything else, it only
indicates that no subordination/modification happens and that the two
linked constituents are equally coordinated.  It may mean 'and' as
well as 'or', 'xor', whatever.  For clarifying the meaning, you need
additional words. :-)
