An architect makes a tour of a new building and discusses with the future owner how she would like to have the rooms painted.
In the first room, she says she’d like a bright blue. The architect writes this on his block, goes to the window, tears it
open and screams: “THE GREEN UP!”
The woman would like to have painted the second room in a soft yellow.
The architect writes it down again, goes back to the window, rips it
open and shouts again: “THE GREEN UP!”
The third room should be painted in a warm rose. Again, the architect takes his block, writes down, goes back to the window, tears it
open and screams: “THE GREEN UP!”
The good woman is already a bit confused and finally asks him:
“Why are you constantly calling ‘The green up’?”
“Excuse me,” he replies, “but I’ve got a bunch of Ostfriesen out there, they’re laying their lawn right now …”
