are you happy, mister?  
hmm. idle know, that's not a bad question, i just don't think about it, typically. happiness implies unhappiness, doesn't it. i would say, more than happy i feel resonant or something. happy seems like a separate state, oh, i'm happy, i'm sorry you are sad, oh, i'm sad, how can you be happy? you know? i feel continuous, let us say. i'd like (for you and i) not to have to even ask the question, and simply continue on our way. shall we?  
okay, mister, good answer, mister, your answer is better than my question, which i think was rather rhetorical anyway, sort of. yes, by all means, let us be on our way.
