12. I once bet a woman at a party that if she told her embarrassing story, I could top it. Hers was so funny a crowd gathered, and I chickened out. I'm meeting this woman tomorrow for coffee, and have never made good on the deal. Maybe tomorrow, depending on who else is there.

jimmyt - I believe the truthful statement is that you pulled Nicky Hopkin's teeth. He's always looked like he needed dental work.
