Lipstick

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.



Calling all the girls to the bathroom, the principal met them there
with the maintenance man. The principal explained that all these lip
prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean
the mirrors every night.



To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, the
Principal asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort
was required. So, he dutifully took out a long-handled squeegee,
dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it.



Since then, no lip prints on the mirror.
