There was a woman who wanted to repaint her house. When the contractor came to her house they did a walk-through. They came to the living room and she told him that she would like a warm cream color. The contractor wrote something down on his pad, then walked to the window and yelled, “Greenside up.” The lady was a little confused, but didn't say anything, and they continued to the dining room where she told him, “I would like a warm white in here.” The contractor wrote something down on his pad, then walked to the window and again yelled, “Greenside up!” The lady was really confused now but still did not say anything. They continued to her bedroom and she said, “I would like a cool, relaxing blue in here.” The contractor wrote something on his pad and again walked to the window and yelled, “Greenside up.” The woman was now totally perplexed and said to the contractor, “Three times I have told you the color that I want, and you write something on your pad, then you walk to the window and yell ‘greenside up.’ What is going on?” The contractor replied, “You see, I have four blondes laying sod across the street.”
有一个女人想要重新油漆她的家。当合同工人到她家里来的时候,他们挨个屋子走一遍。走到客厅的时候,她说她想把客厅漆成温暖的奶油色。合同工人在小本子上写了几个字,然后走到窗口大喊:“绿的一面朝上!”女主人有点糊涂,不过没说什么。他们接着到餐厅,女主人说:“这里我喜欢温暖的白色。”合同工人又在小本子上写了几个字,然后走到窗口大喊:“绿的一面朝上!”女主人真是有点糊涂了,不过还是没说什么。接着他们到卧室,女主人说:“这里我喜欢清爽的、休闲的蓝色。”合同工人在小本子上写了几个字,然后又走到窗口大喊:“绿的一面朝上!”女主人真是完全懵了。她问合同工人说:“我三次告诉你我喜欢的颜色,你在小本子上写几个字,然后走到窗口大喊‘绿的一面朝上’。这到底是怎么一回事?”合同工人回答说:“你瞧,我有四个金发女郎在马路那边铺草皮。”
