"According to a news report, a certain private school in
Owensville recently was 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. Since then, there have been
no lip prints on the mirror.
There are teachers, and then there are educators. "
