That sounds about normal for the lies we hear in public today. They can sure dream some up. What makes it even funnier is, 90% of the time the female there trying to impress even knows there full of crap. Knowing me I would have challenged him to a race, then when he wouldn`t do it I would tell him he was full of crap and make him look even more foolish.
When they say "you trying to make me look like a fool?" my favorite reply is "Oh no,, your doing a fine job of that by yourself"
