                                     I'm sure you will enjoy this. I never knew 
one word in the English language that can be a noun, verb, adj, adv, prep.

                            It's always nice to be able to send something 
educational!
                            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. 

                            And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened 
UPbecause it is stopped UP.

                            We open UP a store in the morning but we close it 
UPat night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!

                            To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, 
lookUP 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 
UPin your address book . . . or not . . . it's UP to you. 

                            Now I'll shut up!
