Town Hall Meetings are Suspiciously Like All Other Meetings

We just had a "Town Hall Style" meeting with some very important people. I didn't coin that phrase, that's what it was called. Now, I've never been to an actual town hall meeting so I really have no comparison but this meeting seemed pretty similar to all other meetings I've attended here in the office. Some people talked at us about exciting!, the future! and possibilities! Then they asked for questions and everyone stared blankly. We wanted to know if we were all getting fired but it seemed inappropriate to ask when they were trying so hard to be positive. I wish they served snacks at town hall meetings.
