Breathless

1: The sea took my breath away.

2: Why? What did you see?

1: I saw the sea and it took my breath away.

2: Can you breath?

1: I am breathing.

2: I can see you’re breathing. I didn’t see the sea take your breath away.

1: I breathed. Then the breathing was taken. Then I breathed again.

2: I didn’t see it.

1: Had you seen me rather than the sea, you would have seen the sea take my breath, rather than seeing the sea breeze.

2: The sea doesn’t breathe.

1: I said breeze, not breathe.

2: Oh, I see.
