Need to get Mom to stop bragging/lying?

I need a good way to get Mom to stop bragging/lying/exaggerating about me & my brother to all women? Anytime my Mom talks to women, doesn't matter if they are old, fat, ugly, whatever, she will always say these are my two sons: they are single, both engineers, and make $70k (that's the exaggeration). This is humiliating to both me & my brother, especially when the women say "I already have a boyfriend", and we don't like Mom's tastes in women anyway.

I've tried talking to her about this, but it doesn't get through. She is like the mother on "Everybody Loves Raymond" (Marie). So I need to embarrass her by saying or doing something that will shut her up. I've thought about pulling my pants down and spanking my butt, but my brother told me that it'll probably be illegal in public. My brother always says (after Mom says her lines), "Yeah, I just got out of prison".

So what can I do (or say)?

I swear there are people on this forum who don't have mothers...

Time to talk to mom adult to adult. "Mom I love you but when you...I am embarassed. Please stop or I'll marry Fred and move to Alaska."

That's also an excellent way to get cut from the will

Live with it. She is obviously very proud of her sons. Allow her the bragging rights, she wont be around forever....

I think it is sort of built in to mothers to be that way.

Huh? My mom complains about me and the things I do/don't do to her boyfreind and others. Sure, sometimes I can have a good time with her but she can be a real a-hole for the most part. I get the feeling that neither of my parents are happy with the way I turned out, and they voice it too. That's the sad part, it wouldn't be so bad if people kept their mouths shut and opinions to themselves, but they let it be known.
