Mrs. McKenzie was showing Corbett, the
contractor,
through the second floor of her new house to show him what
colors to paint
the rooms. „I’d like the bathroom done in white!“
Corbett walked over to the window and shouted, „Green up! Green
up!“
„I want the bedroom in blue!“ continued the woman.
The contractor listened and yelled out the window, „Green up! Green
up!“
„The halls should be done in beige!“ she instructed.
Again, the man
barked out the window, „Green up! Green up!“
„Will you stop that?!“ shouted the woman. „Every time I give you a
color, all you do is shout ‚Green up!‘ What the devil does that
mean?“
‚Tm real sorry, ma’am!“ explained Corbett. „But I got three
Oklahoma basketball players down there tryin‘ to put in the front
lawn!“
