Green side up! A woman wants the inside of her house painted and she calls a contractor in to get started. They stroll through the house, and she points out the colors she wants. She says, "Now, in the living room, I'd like a nice beige." The contractor mutters, "Umm, hmm...", pulls out his pad of paper and writes on it. Then he goes to the window, leans out and yells, "Green side up!" Perplexed, the woman lets it slide as they continue into the next room. "Now in the dining room I'd like an off white, bright and airy." The contractor nods, makes another note on his pad of paper, then he goes to the window, leans out, and yells "Green side up"! The homeowner is even more perplexed but still she's letting it slide. They move into the next room. She says, "Here in the bedroom, I'd like blue; a peaceful, cool blue." The contractor nods, "Yea, OK, that's fine", writes a note... Yet again, he goes to the window, leans out and yells "Green side up"! Finally overcome with curiousity, the woman has to ask, "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, "Oh, that... I got four blondes laying sod across the street."
