Cleaning Lipstick

A principal had a problem with a few of the girls who used lipstick. When applying it in the bathroom they would then press their lips to the mirror and leave lip prints.

Before it got out of hand, he gathered all the girls together that wore lipstick and told them he wanted to meet with them in the ladies room. At the appointed time, the girls found the principal and the school custodian waiting for them.

The principal explained that it was becoming a problem for the custodian to clean the mirror every night and that they did not fully understand just how much of a problem it was.

"I want you all to witness just how hard it is to clean," he concluded earnestly.

The custodian then demonstrated by taking a long brush on a handle and dipping it into the nearest toilet, moving to the mirror, and removing the lipstick.

That was the last day the girls pressed their lips on the mirror.
