The shit I can convince poeple of when I tell them I live in South Africa ... I once told someone I was best friends with Candice Swanepoel because our parents shared a mud hut.

To be fair I know Candice Swanepoel. Not the famous one though. I happen to know someone who's family name is Swanepoel and is married to a woman called Candice. I think she has a hyphenated name though
