Who else can protect your mouth and has 20M listeners a week?

SMITHFIELD, N.C. Students in Johnston County schools looking to relieve chapped lips better have all their paperwork in order.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reports that the district has begun requiring a note from parents before it will allow students to bring Chapstick and other lip balms to school.
Schools spokeswoman Terri Sessoms says the policy was set by the county health department. Sessoms says parents were worried that children would share lip balm and spread germs.
The new policy is actually less strict than the one it replaces. In the past, a note from a doctor was required to bring lip balm to school.
Stephanie Boyd, a parent at West View Elementary School, says neither policy makes sense to her. Information from: The News & Observer, http://www.newsobserver.com

I love the smell of lip balm in the morning.
Kids should wear masks. Breathing is germ city!!
Classic!! lol
What’s next? A ban on condoms and Vaseline?
Oh, wait ...
Kids should live in bubbles and wear helmets. The world is too dangerous for them to survive childhood without a lot of safety gear. (If you think you survived childhood without ridiculous safety gear and hysterical safety precautions, you need to know that it was your imagination.)
Thank You for you cooperation,
Big Sister
(Formerly Big Brother, but we feminized)
But, Katey Perry can’t kiss a girl and like it without the taste of cherry chapstick.
What’s next?
A rule against playing Clinton and Lewinsky on the school buses?
Imagination is now the only way I can revisit those days. I was a "free-range" kid — apparently it's immoral to deny liberty to livestock now, but children are a different matter.

Particularly Lip Smackers’ Tropical Punch!
My Son came up with the perfect cure for those that always want to borrow a chapstick.
He is big into fishing, and when he was in college some idiot was always asking to use his chapstick.
He started carrying a tube of “Chummin-Rub” ( a fish attractant that you rub on fishing lures made from who knows what awful smelling stuff) that comes in a tube like the chapstick.
One smear of that on said idiots lips cured that poor kid for life!
>> I was a “free-range” kid — apparently it’s immoral to deny liberty to livestock now, but children are a different matter.
Good point! I never thought of it that way. I was a “free-range” kid too and survived many stupid adventures without a single helmet or kneepad. We even shared peanuts!! GASP!
That might alleviate half the population from exposure to germs. Why not funnel snack-munchers from classroom to lunchroom through bathrooms for hand-washing or glove and mask the disciples of dictators or the students of statists.
Just sayin’...
What’s next?
A seven day waiting period when buying Chapstick.
Shut down the government schools. They’re germ factories.
Problem solved.
And we stop the spread of the fatal liberal virus as well.
Then again, maybe we need a Safe Chapstick campaign. After-all, everybody is “doing it”, so kids just need to be taught how to “do it” safely.
Can you imagine what they would do if some kid SOLD another kid a Chapstick? Will there be lip balm free zones? Just a thought.
Of course. Give out condoms but ban chapstick.
