Fun With Negation in ‘Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead’

Qtd at Wiki:

Rosencrantz: Do you think Death could possibly be a boat?
    Guildenstern: No, no, no… Death is not. Death isn’t. Take my meaning? Death is the ultimate negative. Not-being. You can’t not be on a boat.
    Rosencrantz: I’ve frequently not been on boats.
    Guildenstern: No, no… What you’ve been is not on boats.
