Lipstick problem

According to a news report, a certain private school in Victoria recently 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.

Every night, the maintenance man would remove them and the next day the girls would put them back. 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 man to clean the mirrors. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it.

Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

There are Teachers, and then there are Educators.

Sounds like my mates dog - it got the idea of swimming across the river where we would walk it, and chase the sheep for hours on end.

So I took it to the river on its leash. Opened up the plastic bag I was carrying and pulled out a brush, liquid soap and the dog towel. I pointed to the water and told the dog

"right mate, time for your BATH" and let it of the leash. It never crossed the river again in 12 years.
