Lipstick problem solved

I think I posted this before but it’s worth a repeat.

Lipstick_KissAccording to a news report, a  certain school in Garden City, MI 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 washroom. 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. He  called all the girls to the  washroom and met them there with the  maintenance man. He 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, he  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.

 THE MORAL OF THIS STORY..
There are Teachers, and then there are Educators.
