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.
