Junior School Parents Meeting

Tonight was the parent's meeting at the junior school which my lad will be attending for the first time in september.
The meeting was due to start at 7pm sharp.At 7.10pm Mrs Wood( the deputy head ) uttered the words that can strike fear in a man's heart. "I'll try to keep this short," she said "I forgot the football was on."
Have you ever been to a meeting where the person who is trying to keep things short ever succeeds. NEVER!
After half an hour of sliding off the plastic chair ( child size ) she uttered the second bad statement you never want to hear at a meeting, "Any questions."
Why is it that nobody asks questions while she's looking around hopefully saying "Anyone?", and just when you think you've got away with it some doughball in the front row puts their hand up and then the floodgates open up.
Bingo that's the first half you think.
Daily question- Why do meatpaste manufacturers put their products in a weird shaped jar making it impossible to get at the last bit of meatpaste at the bottom.?
