For All You Lipstick Wearers Out There

For all of you folks who wear lipstick out there (note that I did not say women ... I admit that there are a few men who do it as well ...)

One of life's simple pleasures is to go out to the local diner for breakfast. Most of us do this on the weekend, but some during the week as well.

There is nothing quite like the sensation experienced when you (half asleep) look down at the coffee cup you've been slurping from and notice purplish red lipstick all over the rim. Knowing that you personally did not apply that shade that morning, you realize that this is leftover from someone else's mouth. You see, commercial dishwashers tend to not clean off lipstick - it's base elements resist cleaning unless wiped away manually - and lazy dishwashers typically don't go to the trouble.

Stop this inhumanity! If you are going out for coffee or breakfast, don't apply your lipstick until after you are finished eating!

So many lipsticks now are advertising they stay on all day -- and evidently even through the wash? Wow. Find out what kind that was for me, ok? ;)

67, did you just wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Send the glass back to the kitchen, it's their job to get it clean. If your woman is trying to look nice for you, don't discourage it -- just make the kitchen do their job. :)
