Validation rule on single quote

I am trying to create a validation rule so that the firstname field in the contact record can not be saved if a quote(') character is entered.  Salesforce should prompt the user that the record can not be saved.

I have used both the "contains" function but I can not seem to get this to work.  What am i doing wrong? 

For example, these 3 examples should error out:

1.Jim'
2.O'hare
3. '
 
 
CONTAINS( "'", firstname )

You have provided wrong inputs to CONTAINS...
 
It should be vice versa...CONTAINS( firstname,"'" )
 
Please read 'Help on this function' document. Link is given under functions that can be used in a validation rule.
