The other side of way too familiar:

In one of his Arthurian novels, T. H. White depicts a toothless old 
man--at Christmas, I think--retelling a story for perhaps the hundredth 
time. He's too feeble and toothless to be understood more than a foot 
away, but it doesn't matter, because *everyone knows the story*.  IIRC, 
some of them are reciting it with him, so the youngest ones will learn 
it; but until he dies, it's HIS story.

Or at least that's how I remember it.
