Future Ted's exaggerations

Future Ted, the narrator on How I Met Your Mother, is known for Exaggerating the stories to his kids. It is done for comical purposes, mainly for the things he either does not remember or did not witness. This quality fits right along with him being unreliable, as well as telling lies and using euphemisms.
