I had myself carbon dated and they said I was 51 yrs. old.
​
Hey Ned, you're 57 and I'm 51; does that mean we can honestly claim to be way above average?

Of course, that's why I used the qualifier when stating my age.

It's called "plausible deniability".

(Wait a minute . ...maybe they just called it "denial")
