The junior high principal had a problem with girls who were starting to use lipstick. When applying it in the bathroom, they would blot their lips on the mirrors, leaving lip prints. So he spoke to the teachers and asked them for their help. They promised to speak to the girls, but after two weeks, the situation didn’t improve. So he called a few of their parents who were his friends for their advice, but to no avail. The mirrors were constantly a mess.
Finally he thought of a way to stop it. He gathered all the girls wearing lipstick and took them into the bathroom and lectured how hard it was to clean the lipstick off the mirrors. He noticed the girls nodding their heads “Yes,” but smirking to one another and laughing behind his back.
Then he asked the custodian to demonstrate how difficult it was to clean the mirrors. The custodian took a long handled brush, dipped it in a toilet, and vigorously rubbed the lipstick off the mirror.
From that day on, the mirrors stayed lipstick free.
