A painting contractor was speaking with a woman about a 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."
