Lipstick on the Mirror

According to a news report, a certain private school
in Victoria, BC recently was faced with a unique
problem.
A number of grade 12 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.
He called all the girls to the bathroom 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. |
