Lip Prints
According to a news report, a certain private school recently was
faced with a unique problem. A number of middle school 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
maintenance man 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. Since then, there have been no lip
prints on the mirror.
