Preposition madness

1. First I cut down [felled] the tree; then I cut it up [chopped it into several pieces].

2. When I left my pruning shears out in the rain, they got rusty. [exposed to the weather]

3. Tom sat down in his new apartment, glad the move was over with. [finished, complete]

4. Tom and Jane were on holiday and the weather had been very hot. After dinner, Tom was still wearing his bathing suit and the weather was warm, so he washed down the deck. Since that made him perspire, he rinsed off with the hose and then went inside.

The house had no dishwasher, and Jane asked him if he'd mind helping her wash up.

"No problem," said Tom, "I'll wash the dishes, and you dry them."

Later, as Tom headed for the shower, Jane said, "Remember to rinse out your swimsuit and hang it up."

As darkness fell, the house was warm, so Tom and Jane decided to hang out on the deck for awhile. They drank lemonade and looked at the stars.

5. Tourist - Does this bus go uptown?
Resident - No, it goes downtown.
Tourist - [looking confused] Are those different places?
Resident - We don't have any uptown here, only downtown. You must be from New York.

Say what???
