Green Side Up

	A  woman hired a contractor to repaint the interior of her house.  The
woman walked the man through the second floor of her home and told him
what colors she wanted for each room. As they walked through the first room,
the woman said, "I think I would like this room in a cream color."  The
contractor wrote on his clipboard, walked to the window, opened it and
yelled out, "Green side up!" He then closed the window and continued
following the woman to the next room. The woman looked confused, but
proceeded with her tour. "In this room, I was thinking of an off blue."
Again, the contractor wrote this down, went to the window, opened it and
yelled out, "Green side up!"  This baffled the woman, but she was
hesitant to say anything. In the next room, the woman said she would
like it painted in a light rose color.  And once more, the contractor
opened the window and yelled, "Green side up!"  Struck with curiosity,
the woman mustered up the nerve to ask, "Why do you keep yelling 'Green
side up' out my window every time I tell you the color I would like the
room?"  The contractor replied, "Because I have a crew of blondes laying
sod across the street."
