Trash Talking

This guy who I occasionally engage in basketball trash talk and fake boasting with, likes to tell me about his single game scoring record that he supposedly holds for the rural small town high school that he attended.

And every time he tells the story, he adds three or four points to what he previously claimed. 

And I'm always like: Big f'ing deal! I could have scored that many points against that pissant level of competition in the first quarter, playing left-handed, and after just polishing off the concession stands supply of hot dogs.

And I always wonder why he keeps embellishing his claim.

And just maybe it's because he was still in high school at age 30 ... 32 .... 35, etc., breaking his own records in both single game points and GPA.
