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!
