We had a woman who wanted a promotion and the boss told her the job would be coming up in a few months. So we got on email and used one of the bosses old emails and modified it to make it look like he was announcing that someone else had been placed in the job (someone we knew she disliked) and please welcome so and so and offer your cooperation blah blah blah and we left it where we knew she would find it. The next day she came immediately up to me YOU ARE EVIL!

I'm curious. I grew up in DC, attended Georgetown Prep. I had several classmates who attended Georgetown University from 1962 on. The "Tombs" was our preferred bar. I want to hear more of the story.
Brain fart! What was the bar across from the Cellar Door called? That was our second favorite. Was it "Macs?" I cannot remember.
While I'm on a memory trip, imagine this for fun. The Exorcist movie was filmed using a house near the bar. This part of G'town is on a high hill overlooking a street and the boathouses on the Potomac River. Right next to the house is a narrow set of stone steps carved into the hill that must drop down 200' to the street below. The steps are very steep and as you approach them from the top the sidewalk slants down at a slight angle.
I often took a first date drinking at the Tombs close by. On the way back to my car (I always took a first date out in a ratty, faded-out old blue VW with the passenger seat missing. They sat on the back bench seat.) I would get them to close their eyes an lead them within a foot of the top of the stairs. Then have them open their eyes! If they went out on a second date with a jerk who would do all that to a really sweet girl ...they were a keeper. I only had one woman excuse themselves for the bathroom and never come back. @Paradisefound would have dropped me like a hot potato!
