Okay...I've recently started trying to learn Japanese, and I noticed 
something right off the bat.  The learning kit I have has no 
reference to any kanji with the "l" consonant sound.  Is this the way 
it is, or am I missing a whole bunch of stuff?

Second question:  What, exactly, makes up chi?  I have a friend that 
says that this trick I have for arm-wrestling is focussing chi, but I 
don't know for sure.  His comment confuses me, as I think that it is 
only a trick...

Lastly, what do you think of my last teaser, "Happi's Delight"?  It 
is actually meant as a story, not a joke.  Please reply to this part 
privately.

Thanx.

If the Idea's there, and the Imagination's fresh,
Take the Idea, and run with it.

      Stress Relief
   All stressed out?  Sometimes it helps to think
of happy scenes.  Maybe a pastoral field, a field
with a babbling brook.  You're there on a lovely
summer's day...holding someone's head under the 
water.  Now you're letting them up for a second.
Then blam!  Back into the freezing water!  Over
and over again!  There.  Feel better?
