I remember this one from when my daughter was at primary school (aged 
6).  There had been an outbreak of headlice and we parents all got 
called in for a talk by the Headteacher.  This included a slideshow 
and by the end of the slide show, every parent in the audience was 
surreptitiously scratching.  

And no - since you ask - we never got 'em.
