Can I lie about getting fired on a job application?

Advertisements [?]

The job application I am filling out is asking for the past 12 years of employment history.

I got fired from a job in 2002, and I'm wondering what my official "reason for leaving" should be. The place has such high turnover, I doubt anyone there remembers me. My file probably isn't even at the building I worked, and possibly at the regional headquarters in another state.

My past few jobs just accepted my resume. I have never had to list this place on a job application before. It is 5 jobs back, and I have good references on more recent jobs.

I wonder if I can make up an excuse?
