Naw that's not one upping in my book. What IS is this

Once i sailed around the world

Yes me too, only i sailed around the world in a balloon

Wow, i would love to do that, i did however cross the grand canyon on a burro's back

Well IIIIIIIIIIIIIII went across the grand canyon, on a burro, uphill both ways, while balancing a saucer on my head

Oh man that is amazing, i once tried to juggle some pins, i could do 3 at a time

oh i am amazing at juggling, i could juggle 3 pins and a small child


i think you are talking about the medical one upping;

i have a headache

well i have a migraine

oh my knee hurts

well my WHOLE leg hurts

well i once broke an ankle and still played ball

well i once made a touchdown with a broken neck and my hair on fire
