A painting contractor was speaking with a woman about
her job. In the first room she said she would like
a pale blue. The contractor wrote this down and went
to the window, opened it, and yelled out “GREEN SIDE
UP!” In the second room she told the painter she
would
like it painted in a soft yellow. He wrote this on
his pad, walked to the window, opened it, and yelled
“GREEN SIDE UP!” The lady was somewhat curious but
she
said nothing. In the third room she said she would
like it painted a warm rose color. The painter wrote
this down, walked over to the window, opened it and
yelled “GREEN SIDE UP!” The lady then asked him, “Why
do you keep yelling ‘green side up’?” The contractor
replied, "I'm sorry, but I have a crew of blondes
laying
sod across the street.
