A woman wants the inside of her
house painted, and she calls a
contractor in to help her. They
wander around the house as she
points out the colors she
wants. She says, "Now in the living room,
I'd like to have a neutral
beige, very soft and warm."
The contractor nods, pulls out
his pad of paper, and writes on it.
Then he goes to the window,
leans out, and yells "Green side up!"
The woman is most perplexed,
but she lets it slide. They wander
Into the next room. She says,
"In the dining room, I'd like a light
white, not stark, but very
bright and airy."
The contractor nods, pulls out
his pad of paper, and writes on it.
Then he goes to the window,
leans out, and yells "Green side up!"
The woman is even more
perplexed, but still she lets it slide. They
wander further into the next
room. She says, "In the bedroom,
I'd like blue. Restful,
peaceful, cool blue."
The contractor nods, pulls out
his pad of paper, and writes on it.
Then again he goes to the
window, leans out, and yells "Green side
up!"
This was too much. The woman
had to ask. So she says,
"Every time I tell you a
color, you write it down, but then you
yell out the window 'Green Side
Up'. What on earth does that mean?"
The contractor shakes his head
and says,
"I have four blondes
laying sod across the street."
