A woman was completely remodeling her house and yard. When it came time to paint the walls, she walked through the house with the contractor telling him what she wanted.
“In this room I want the walls green–a really warm, soothing green, that will make you feel like summertime.”
“Ok, we can do that” replied the contractor, then he walked to the window, stuck his head out, and yelled “Hey! Green side up!”
They moved to the next room.
The woman went on, “This room I want to be red–a hardy brick red.”
“Ok.” the contractor again went to the window and stuck his head out and yelled “Hey! Green side up!”
The woman thought this was odd, but went on to the third room. “I want this room a light blue–a really cool relaxing color. I want this room to be soothing.”
“All right, we can do that too.” Again, the contractor went to the window, stuck his head out, and yelled “Hey! Green side up!”
Finally, the woman couldn’t take it anymore. “Look, I don’t understand. Every room we’ve been in you’ve gone to the window and yelled ‘Hey! Green side up!’”
“Oh,” explained the contractor, “I’ve got a couple blondes out there laying sod.”
