Lipstick in school
According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington DC
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.
Several memos were posted about this, without effect. 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 was to clean the mirrors, she asked
the maintenance man to show the girls just how hard it was.
Under careful instructions, the man took out a long-handled squeegee,
solemnly dipped it in the nearest toilet bowl, and at the
mirror.
There was complete silence in the room.
