Lipstick

A certain private school recently was faced with a unique problem. A number of girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the girls restroom. That was fine, but after they put their lipstick on 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.
