LIPSTICK IN SCHOOL
melissa...@gmail.com
According to a news report, a certain school in Garden City, MI was
recently
faced with a unique problem.
A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would
put
it on in the washroom. 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 washroom 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.
