- Wellll,,,
- Last night I was watching a movie in Mandarin that
- was roughly translated as 'Mr. Knife,' which was a movie
- set in old Manchuria(barbaric days), involving a very young man who was
- setting out to find his wife(who was supposed to have a black spot on
- her ass). Anyway, his father was a a 'great fighter' and could really
- use his chi. However, the young man joked with his future wife once
- he found her, one day his old man had been trying to chop down a tree
- in one stroke, but his chi leaked out his ass and he couldn't do it!
-
- Hold that chi, don't let it go
-
- John
- P.S. The movie was kind of amusing but it didn't have subtitles or
- English translations so too bad.
