LIP PRINTS….
July 18th, 2005
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
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 guy 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.
