Cleveland Park Email List purveyor Bill Adler likes to send out April Fool’s jokes to his subscribers. Last year, it was the fictional escape of a “Loof Lirpa” from the National Zoo. The year before that, there was the big announcement that a developer was planning on bringing a Pet Hotel to Cleveland Park.

This year, a mock press release from DDOT announced the creation of a paperless parking ticket system. Hey, that could be a real idea, right?

Drivers who park in the District of Columbia should visit MY DDOT at least once a week to see if they have a pending parking ticket. If you don’t log on and subsequently pay your ticket, your fine will be doubled, in accordance with existing regulations. “There are no exemptions or excuses allowed for not checking online. Everyone who drives in the District of Columbia should log on to MY DDOT once a week to see if they have any outstanding parking tickets.”

Not bad, not bad. Adler didn’t seem to manage to fool anyone on the List this time around, though. Click here for a full accounting of all of Adler’s April Fool’s pranks over the years. Full “Paperless Parking Ticket System” announcement after the jump.
