There was a woman who wanted to repaint her house, so she called the
contractor and set an appointment to meet with him. When the
contractor came to her house they did a walk-through and he asked her
what colors she would like. They came to the living room and she told
him that she would like a nice, warm cream color. The contractor wrote
something down on his pad, then walked to the window and yelled,
''Greenside up.'' The lady is a little confused, but doesn't say
anything, and they continue to the dining room where she tells him,
''I would like a nice warm white in here, nothing stark.'' The
contractor writes something down on his pad, then walks to the window
and again yells, ''Greenside up!'' The lady is really confused now but
still does not say anything. They continue to her bedroom and she
says, ''I would like a nice, cool, relaxing blue in here.'' The
contractor writes something on his pad and again walks to the window
and yells, ''Greenside up.'' The woman is now totally perplexed and
says to the contractor, ''Three times I have told you the color that I
want, and you write something on your pad, then you walk to the window
and yell greenside up. What is going on?'' The contractor replies,
''You see, I have four blondes laying sod across the street.''
