The Contractor and Paint Colors (humor)

paint_smA man was inspecting his newly built house with his contractor. In the first room, he requested a pale blue paint color. The contractor wrote this down and went to the window, opened it, and yelled out, “GREEN SIDE UP!” And then continued the conversation.

In the second room, he told the contractor he 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!” And then continued the conversation.

The new owner was somewhat curious but said nothing.

In the third room, he said he would like it painted a warm rose colour. The contractor wrote this down, walked to the window, opened it and yelled, “GREEN SIDE UP!” And then continued the conversation.

Finally, the new home owner asked the purpose of these shouts. The contractor replied, “Oh, I have a couple of ex-stock market investors laying sod.”
