Ok, breathe

Weird thought of the day:

Thanking someone for taking your breath away is kind of weird.

It's like saying, "Hey, thanks for making it difficult for me to breathe."

Now, I know some people are into those sorts of things, but if I'm going to be thanking someone for something breathing related, I would hope it's for making it easier!

"Thanks for the CPR, Xena, I kind of blacked out while fighting that giant 3 headed lizard."

"Thanks for unwrapping that anaconda from around my neck, sweetheart. You're the best."

"Thanks for pulling me back into the spacecraft, Guy, I forgot I wasn't wearing a space suit."

"Thanks for giving me oxygen, baby, that cat really took my breath away!"

See? Now that all makes sense.

Corey: “+5 Internet points for hidden Sam Rockwell reference”

Zero: “+10 for catching the Sam Rockwell / Galaxy Quest reference! ‘Is there air!? You don’t know! ’”

For reference: Guy Fleegman, the nervous crewman played by Sam Rockwell in Galaxy Quest, who famously worries about whether there is air. The post hides a Guy reference in plain sight.
