According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington 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. 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 had been to clean the
mirrors, she 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. Priceless! Since then, there have been no
lip prints on the mirror. There are teachers....and then there are educators
