April First In Corporate Housing May Be A Day For Fun

With the colorful history that Washington DC has it's no surprise that April Fools' Day pranks are many.  History has  documented all kinds of silliness between politicians, and notable names.  In 1925 more than 30 members of the Washington social elite received invitations to attend a dinner.  The host was to be Dr. Pavel Stransky secretary of the Czechoslovak legation. The location was the Washington Social Club.  The invitations were made by telephone from a woman with a French accent.  The big event arrived and the guests showed up to find the host was missing. In addition, the club was not prepared as they had received no request for reservation.   Oops!   Well,  the joke was on Dr. Stransky.  He never sent any invitations; he called no one; and the made no request to the club for dinner.  His comment to the press "Today is the 1st of April and I think it is all a joke.  But why should they pick on me?"  So, while living in DC corporate housing beware of phone invitations to fancy dinners.   Have fun in Washington!
