[table=100%,#ff0066]UP

Read until the end ... you'll laugh.

This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is '
UP
.' It is listed in the dictionary as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v].

It's easy to understand
UP
, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake
UP
?

At a meeting, why does a topic come
UP
? Why do we speak
UP
, and why are the officers
UP
for election and why is it
UP
to the secretary to write
UP
a report? We call
UP
our friends, brighten
UP
a room, polish
UP
the silver, warm
UP
the leftovers and clean
UP
the kitchen. We lock
UP
the house and fix
UP
the old car.

At other times, this little word has real special meaning. People stir
UP
trouble, line
UP
for tickets, work
UP
an appetite, and think
UP
excuses.

To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed
UP
is special. If you argue, you can kiss and make
UP
.

And this
UP
is confusing: A drain must be opened
UP
because it is stopped
UP
.
We open
UP
a store in the morning but we close it
UP
at night. We seem to be pretty mixed
UP
about
UP
!

To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of
UP
, look
UP
the word
UP
in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes
UP
almost 1/4 of the page and can add
UP
to about thirty definitions.

If you are
UP
to it, you might try building
UP
a list of the many ways
UP
is used. It will take
UP
a lot of your time, but if you don't give
UP
, you may wind
UP
with a hundred or more.

When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding
UP
. When the sun comes out, we say it is clearing
UP
. When it rains, it soaks
UP
the earth. When it does not rain for awhile, things dry
UP
. One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it
UP
, for now . . . my time is
UP
!

Oh . . . one more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing you do at night?

U
P !

Did that one crack you
UP
?

Don't screw
UP
. Send this on to everyone you look
UP
in your address book . . . or not . . . it's
UP
to you.

Now I'll shut
UP
!
