Subject: BS: 12 year olds and lipstick....
According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington DC 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 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 man to show the girls how hard it was.
Under careful instructions, the man took out a long-handled squeegee,
solemnly dipped it in the nearest toilet bowl, and scrubbed the mirror.

There was complete silence in the room.

Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

There are Teachers and there are Educators.
