Sunday Funnies; Volume 49.

From Uncle Harry in Adelaide, Australia ....... According to a news report, a certain private school in Brisbane was recently faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old 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 tothe mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints. Every night the maintenanceman 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 (you can just imagine the yawns from the little princesses). To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. 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

Boy that sounds like 5th to 6th grade girls!

When I was in 6th grade, I got a phone call one evening from a girl who was a real ring leader in our class. She was calling every girl in the 6th grade to say that we were all going to ditch our bobbie socks and saddle shoes (1964) and sneak a pair of our mothers silk stockings (no pantyhose back then) and garter belt or girdle. We were all to meet in the bathroom before school and put our stockings on. Not knowing the difference, I snuck a pair of my pregnant Mother's support hose and borrowed my friends teenage sister's garter belt. Non of the other girls knew about support hose either and they thought my stockings were the best because they were a deeper tan color. As it turned out the teachers and principal said nothing much to our dismay. We all took a vote at the end of the day and decided we would return to our bobbie socks and saddle shoes...by the end of the day our silk stockings were full of holes and runners...they did not survive our games of tether ball and kick ball on the playground!

Oh to turn the clock back to those innocent days!

Thanks for the smile!
