A couple was having a new house built.
It was nearing completion, and it was time to meet with the contractor on the paint colors for each room.
In the downstairs living room, the couple told the contractor, "We want this room to be very relaxing. Please paint this room light blue.
" The contractor walked over to the window and shouted out, "Green up!" The couple continued on to the kitchen. "This room is to be bright and cheerful. Please paint it yellow." Again, the contractor leaned out the window and shouted, "Green up!" The couple was confused but figured he knew what he was doing, so they went upstairs to the master bedroom. "Since this room will be full of fierce passion, it should be painted red." Once again, the contractor walked to the window, leaned out, and shouted, " Green up! Green up!" The couple could stand it no more and asked, "No matter what color we tell you we want the room painted, you tell your workers 'green up'.
Why?" "Oh, it has nothing to do with the paint, " he replied. "I hired a bunch of idiots and they're trying to put the sod down in your yard." |
