Lipstick at School

According to a news report, a certain private school in
Washington recently was 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.


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.
