Painting contractor

Subject: painting contractor


A woman wants the inside of her house painted and she calls a
contractor in to help her. They wander around the house, and 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 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 once more he goes to the
window, leans out and yells "Green side up"! This is too much. The
woman has 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
turf across the street."
