Lipstick in 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 (and Kenny) 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.

There are teachers, and then, there are educators.
