Lipstick in School (Priceless!)
According to a news report, a certain private school in
Washington was recently faced with a unique problem. A number of
12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in
the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick, they
would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip
prints.
Every night the maintenance man would remove them, and the
next day the girls would put them back.
Finally the principal decided that something had to be done.
She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the
maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a
major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night
(you can just imagine the yawns from the little princesses).
To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors,
she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was
required.
He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet,
and cleaned the mirror with it. Since then, there have been no lip
prints on the mirror.
There are teachers .. and then there are educators
