I've had a few too many "nobody will believe" this type of experiences of late. Right now I can't think of a single one of them, but somehow I'm reminded of an old story. Way back in my early days, I worked for a radio station, and occasionally produced/directed for Ludlow Porch.
I don't have any idea why I remember this particular story, and I probably don't even remember it correctly, but I've always loved the punch line. The story goes something like this. There was this singer (probably a country singer) who was known by his friends to be a bit of a womanizer, but somehow his wife had stuck by him through the years. One time, while he was on the road, his wife decided to surprise him by showing up at his hotel. She knocked on the door a while, and he arrived at the door, barely dressed, and clearly there was a woman in the bed behind him. Without a pause, he looked at his wife and said, "Now, are you going to believe your eyes or are you going to believe the story I'm about to tell you?" It's possible there was more to the story, but that's the only line I ever cared about...
Probably not a good idea to use the line in that same context, but otherwise, it's amazing how useful that line is
