Lipstick
on the Mirror
According to a news report, Mount Ida High School recently was
faced with a unique problem.
A number of 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.
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 clean the mirrors.
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.
