A principal of a small middle school had a problem with a few of the older
girls who were starting to use lipstick. Mary Kay was their favorite.
When applying it in the bathroom they would then press their lips to the mirror and leave lip prints.
Before it got to be too much he racked his brain to come up with a solution.
Finally, he gathered all the offenders that wore lipstick and told them he wanted to meet with them in the ladies room at 2pm. When they got there the custodian was also waiting.
The principal explained that it was becoming a problem for the custodian to clean the mirror every night. He said he felt the ladies did not fully understand just how much of a problem it was and he wanted them to witness just how hard it was to clean.
The custodian then demonstrated. He took a long brush on a handle out of a box. He then dipped the brush in the nearest toilet, moved to the mirror and proceeded to remove the lipstick.
End of problem.
Wow! Semi permanent make up has alot of uses! But did you know that a woman consumes over 4 to 9 lbs of lipstick in her lifetime! Here is the link that I found that shows all of the research:
