The Exaggerator

Today we're gonna talk about that one person everybody knows that can't help but exaggerate everything he says to the nth degree. Everybody knows at least one exaggerator. This is the guy that when he speaks you are constantly thinking in your head "that never happened" or "i gotta verify what he just said with someone else". There are certain rules that go alone with having a conversation with this guy. For example: every time he mentions anything of numerical significance, you have to slash the number by at least 50 percent. If he says "I sat in traffic for 2 hours today" then you know it's really one hour. If he says he won 50 bucks in a poker game, in actuality he only went up 25. When he says he's a "die-hard Yankees fan" you know that he probably can't even name 2 pitchers in the rotation.
We've got to step up to the plate and call out their bluffs people! For way too long have we sat back and listened (albeit half-consciously) to bogus monologue. What attempts have you made to salvage society from this type of person? Man up! Become an arbitrator and inflict justice on this earth!
