{vIHarQo'} is "I won't believe it," not "I don't believe it," which is 
{vIHarbe'}.

While technically correct, I'd make this less loquacious:

    jIlachtaH 'e' DaHarchugh DaH chowaH
    if you believe I am exaggerating, try me now

I'm not sure if {waH} "test, try out experimentally" is exactly the 
right verb here, but I'm inclined to give the benefit of the doubt on 
this one.

"Warn" is {ghuH}, not {ghoH}. {qaghuH} "I alert you."
