Painting The Rooms
Mrs. McKenzie was showing Corbett, the contractor, through the second floor of her new house to show him what colors to paint the rooms.
- I'd like the bathroom done in white!
Corbett walked over to the window and shouted:
- Green up! Green up!
- I want the bedroom in blue! - continued the woman.
The contractor listened and yelled out the window:
- Green up! Green up!
- The halls should be done in beige! - she instructed.
Again, the man barked out the window:
- Green up! Green up!
- Will you stop that?! - shouted the woman.
- Every time I give you a color, all you do is shout 'Green up!' What the devil does that mean?
- I'm real sorry, ma'am! - explained Corbett.
- But I got three Oklahoma basketball players down there tryin' to put in the front lawn!
