Lipstick
According to
a news report, a certain school in Garden City, MI 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 washroom. 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. He called all
the girls to the washroom and met them there with the maintenance man. He
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, he 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.
