Best Boast Dressed up as a Story

I heard one of these the other day (which of course I’ve now forgotten), but it put me in mind of a wonderful one I heard many years ago when the founder of The Samaritans, the Rev. Chad Varah, spoke at my school.

He explained that the reason he believed in reincarnation was because it was the only explanation he could think of for why he could read from when he was just a baby of a few months.

Magnificent blend of self-praise and mumbo-jumbo! What others do we have out there?
