I first heard this as an Aggie (Texas A&M) joke years and years ago...

A woman hired a contractor to repaint the interior of her house. The
woman walked the man through the second floor of her home and told
him what colors she wanted for each room. As they walked through the
first room, the woman said, "I think I would like this room in a
cream color."
The contractor wrote on his clipboard, walked to the window, opened it and
yelled out, "Green side up!" He then closed the window and continued
following the woman to the next room. The woman looked confused, but
proceeded with her tour. "In this room, I was thinking of an off blue."
Again, the contractor wrote this down, went to the window, opened it and
yelled out, "Green side up!" This baffled the woman, but she was
hesitant to say anything. In the next room, the woman said she would like
it painted in a light rose color. And once more, the contractor opened
the window and yelled, "Green side up!"
Struck with curiosity, the woman mustered up the nerve to ask, "Why do you
keep yelling 'Green side up' out my window every time I tell you the
color I would like the room?"
The contractor replied, "Because I have a crew of blondes laying sod
across the street."
