Will Geer: The Grandfather

Quotes 

• The Grandfather : Father of heaven omnipotent we thank thee for the bounty that you've helped us bestow upon this table and also for the exceedingly pleasant weather that we've been having lately which has brought our crops in rather nicely. Also for the presence this evening of a young man who loves trees and the trailing arbutus, we ask you to bestow your bounty upon him also. In all humility, in thy name, amen.

  [Family says "amen"] 

  The Grandfather : I wonder why they never say "a-women."
