Bert,
Not only is Harry upset about others success, he is so embarrassed about his
life that he has to make up stories about an elusive Lobster Boat and his
wife's education.

Do you have any proof that he has lied about his wife, or his Lobster
Boat, or is your life so embarrassing that you need to make up stories
about other people?
