Freshen Up

I am the secretary of our school's JSSC committee.  JSSC stands for "Junior Savers" - no, it's "Just Say Something" - wait... okay, I have no idea what it stands for.  All I know is that it is our responsibility to solve (or at least address) the problems of our school in a once-monthly, one hour meeting.  We discuss the budget, who will clean out the faculty room fridge, why teachers aren't cleaning up after themselves, recess schedules, assemblies, field trips, contests, behavior plans - general school topics. But it was the following intense discussion that solidified my decision to act as secretary for another year.

"Okay, next on the list is air fresheners in the faculty restrooms." said Tracey.  All eyes darted around the room, nervous about what this might mean, already pointing mental fingers at the culprit who would make this conversation necessary. 
"The custodians need to make sure it's always in the bathrooms - especially the ones with two stalls."  Oh no, she didn't.  "It's common courtesy to use air freshener after using the restroom and we keep running out."  Here, there were a few smart-alec comments, one was probably from me but I can't be sure: "Come on, people - all it takes is one quick spray!" and "How can we ensure that no one will take the new cans home for their own use?"  Things like that.
The faces of the committee members ranged from utter embarrassement to pure amusement to near hysterical laughter.  You may have already guessed where I fell in that range - I could not wait to type up these meeting minutes.

Finally, our principal said directly to the agenda in front of him, "Okay, I will talk to Joe about making sure he keeps an eye on that."  And that was that.  Somehow we did it without using the words stinky, smelly, poop, or number two.  Thank God for small miracles; there are just certain words you don't ever want to hear coming out of certain co-workers' mouths.

Since this meeting, none have been as entertaining; though, the one involving the new signs above the toilets reading "This is a handle not a pedal!" came close.
