technically, I think if someone tells you to quit and you come back with that, you are just contrary. and a trouble maker.

Question. If someone tells you to stop being a quiter aren't you technically stoping/quiting the act of quiting. Quiting quiting? And isn't it like imposible then to not be a quiter?
