Someone thought I came from the circus today,how's y'all's day? - eviltoast

There’s a circus thing going around algeria and it stopped stopping or will stop around my city, anyhow I walk into astore and the owner starts speaking broken English to me,I ask him why and he asks me if I’m with the circus or not… I am not mad, but it’s funny as hell, if you were wondering what I bought, it was thigh highs.

    If stopping is an action one can stop that action. If you are stopping something, I might tell you to stop stopping it. If you are stopping by, I might tell you to stop stopping by. If the circus has been stopping by every year on its route, but then it stopped stopping by as it usually did, then the circus would have stopped the stop. Then if it stopped the stop in a deliberate enough way as to warrant special attention, but later decided to resume the stop you could say that it stopped stopping the stop.
