3 painters from 3 different companies were painting a billboard. The men had 3 different last names: Red, Blue and Green. The 3 companies they came from had the same names as the workers. As they were painting, they started talking. "It is funny that all of our last names are different from our companies' names." said Mr. Red. "Yes, very strange." replied the man from Blue & Co.
