The principal had a problem with some girls who were starting
to use lipstick. When applying it in the bathroom they would
blot their lips on the mirrors, leaving lip prints.
Before it got out of hand, he thought of a way to stop it.
One day he gathered together all the girls who wore lipstick.
He then took them into the bathroom and lectured about how
hard it was to clean the lipstick off the mirrors. The
principle then asked the custodian, who was present, to
demonstrate.
The custodian took a long handled brush, dipped it into the
toilet and vigorously rubbed the lipstick off the mirror.
From that day forward, the mirrors stayed lipstick free.
***and a variation of it***
According to a radio report, a Junior High school in Oregon was recently
faced with a unique problem. A number of 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 lip prints.
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 guy to
clean one of the mirrors. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it
into the toilet and then cleaned the mirror.
Since then there have been no more problems with lip prints!!
