There's more than one way to get a
point across.
According to a recent 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 nearest toilet and then cleaned the mirror.
Since then there have been no lip
prints on the mirror. |
