If Living ...
Published Jan 01, 1900
Applying for a job one time, the employment application clearly stated: "Age of Father (if living)", and the same query for my Mother.
I put down the figures 105 and 94 in the spaces provided.
The interviewer asked if my parents were truly that old.
I replied, "No, but they would be if they were still living."
