Love the quote, Yonuh.

As for how I would reply, Di, I guess for me it would depend on how well I knew the person doing the bragging.

For example, if this is a person I know well, I might sarcastically joke with them, and say something like, "Wow! You've managed to enjoy all those experiences, and yet you're still so modest!"

But if it was more of a situation where I merely know the person socially, I might find it useful to try that Southern lady comment: the "Well, bless your heart!"

It is simultaneously withering and polite, and it can be used in almost any situation.
