Lipstick in Schools

[Guest palexxxx]

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 had

 

begun 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

 

maintenance man who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just

 

imagine the yawns from the little princesses). To demonstrate how difficult

 

it was 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
