According to a radio report, a middle school in Oregon was
faced with a unique problem. A number of
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.
Finally the principal decided that something had to be done.
She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there
with the custodian. She explained that all these lip prints were
causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the
mirrors every day. To
demonstrate how difficult it was to clean
the mirrors, she asked the custodian to clean one of the
mirrors.
He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it into the
toilet and then cleaned the mirror.
Since then there have been no lip prints on the mirror.
