Painting Contractor
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 to the window, opened it and yelled:
- GREEN SIDE UP!
The lady then asked him:
- Why do you keep yelling green side up?
- I'm sorry - came the reply.
- But I have a crew of blondes laying sod across the street.
