What is a statement of yours that you had to retract? It doesn’t have to be verbatim, just the gist will do.

  For instance, the State Troopers in Minnesota swore me to a pinky-promise that I’d never again attempt to locate a “certain someone”.  I wasn’t being sincere when I agreed to it, and I knew that from the start. My conscience got to me, so I withdrew the ill-advised utterance and carried on with my intended endeavors. Grrrrrr.
