According to a news report, a certain private school in Markham, OH 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.
Several memos were posted about this without effect. 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 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 man
to show the girls just how hard it was. Following the instructions,
the man took out a long-handled squeegee, solemnly dipped it in the
nearest toilet bowl, and scrubbed at the mirror.
There was complete silence in the room. Since then, there have been no
lip prints on the mirror.
