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.
