According to a London newspaper, a certain private school in Mill Hill, London, was recently faced with a unique problem. A number of 11 year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the girls’ toilets. 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 cleaner would have to spend a large amount of time scrubbing them off the glass and the next day the girls would put them back.
Finally the headmistress decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the cleaner. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the cleaner who had to clean the mirrors every night.
To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the cleaner to show the girls how much effort was required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet bowl, and proceeded to scrub the mirror with it. Since then there have been no lip prints on the mirror!
Some teach, but others educate!!
