A woman hired a contractor to repaint the inside of her house. As she guided him around the second floor, she pointed out the colors she wanted for each room. In the first bedroom she said, “I’m thinking a nice soft cream in here.”
The contractor scribbled on his clipboard, calmly walked to the window, opened it, and hollered, “GREEN SIDE UP!” Then he shut the window like nothing happened and followed her to the next room.
The woman blinked a few times but kept quiet.
“In here, maybe an off-blue,” she said.
Again, he jotted it down, strolled to the window, opened it, and yelled, “GREEN SIDE UP!” as if it were the most normal thing in the world.
Now she was completely baffled, but still too polite to ask.
In the next room she said, “I’d like a light rose color in here.”
Sure enough—clipboard, window, yell—“GREEN SIDE UP!”
Finally, the woman couldn’t stand it. “Why do you shout ‘Green side up’ out my window every time I tell you a wall color?”
The contractor shrugged and said, “Oh, that? I’ve got a crew of blondes laying sod across the street, and I have to remind them which side faces the sky.”
