Stairs Are Always Up to Something

This is a classic pun. The phrase 'up to something' can mean 'plotting something bad', but it also describes the physical direction of stairs going up. So it's a play on word with two meanings of 'up to something'.

• Building
• Architecture
• Stairs
• Step
• Something
• Structure

• Why didn’t the girl like stairs? They were always up to something.
• I love stairs. They always bring me up.
• I fell from the stairs the other day. It really "got me down."
• Fail and fall mean the same thing when it’s downstairs.
