>Lipstick  in School.....priceless!
>
>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 on 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
>(you can just imagine all the yawns from the little princesses).   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.
>
>There are teachers .. and then there are  educators.
