LIPSTICK
ON MIRROR
According to a news report, a certain private
school in USA 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 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.
Several memos were posted about this, without
effect.
Finally the principal decided that something had to
be done. She called
all he girls to the bathroom and met them there
with the maintenance
man. She explained that all these lip prints were
causing 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 show the girls just how hard it
was.
Under careful instructions, the man took out a
long-handled squeegee,
solemnly dipped it in the nearest toilet bowl, and
scrubbed at the
mirror.
There was complete silence in the room.
Since then, there have been no lip prints on the
mirror.
