Lipstick at School According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington 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... |

that is absolutly disgusting!!!! what a educator!!! don't they think there was another way to teach them a lesson??? maybe try and get the 12 year old girls to clean the mirrors themselves!!! sorry about that but as a mother of 2 girls it about made me sick to think about that one!!!!!

I agree that the girls should have been made to clean them & I'm sure that is not how the janitor actually did it. i think it was a creative way to teach them a lesson about never knowing what germs are there. As the subject is Jokes & riddles it probably isn't a true story anyway.

And think about it, wouldn't the janitor be in trouble for cleaning the mirrors with toilet water? It was just something to scare them I think. |

I think that principal was brilliant, and the maintenance man had to be pretty good to bring it off in a convincing manner.. They both deserve an Oscar!!!
