Funny teaching story...

[Jennifer Piersol]

Since many of us are educators, I thought that I'd post this note I 
got in my email this morning from the college I work for (now that's 
an awkward sentence).  In case you're not a teacher, it's *still* 
very funny.

TEACHING

According to a 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. He called all the girls to the 
bathroom and met them there  with the maintenance man. He 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, he asked the maintenance 
person to clean one of the mirrors. The maintenance man took out a 
long-handled squeegee, dipped it into the toilet and then cleaned the 
mirror. Since then there have been no lip prints on the mirror. 

There are teachers, and then there are teachers...
