Lol i know what you mean!I remember a joke about a DDGM visit -
The DDGM visit had low attendance so after the meeting the DDGM asked the WM if the members had been informed of the event. "Well, I tried to keep it quiet but it looks like the word got out anyways".
What is a good turnout for your Lodge. My mother lodge has 345 members. 86 of those no longer live in the metro area and cannot attend due to the distances involved. 35 or so are in nursing homes or are physically unable to attend. We average about 15-20 at a typical Stated Communication. My Traditional Observance lodge sends out a monthly summons that mandates attendance or you should show cause. There are only 14 members, but they often are all present. It is in our bylaws that attendance is expected.

What is the consequence if members do not show?
