So I'm kinda hoping that this'll be a kind of sarcastic thread.

I'm already well aware that people will say things like "Just do it, it doesn't mean anything" or "say no, because nobody should HAVE to say grace".

In the ridiculously hypothetical situation that you HAVE to say grace, what would you say.

Personally, I'd say "thank you so much dear lord, for never putting me into a situation that I feel awkward in", or something along those lines.

Please =[.
Nothing super serious.

I'd say something like, "Thank you, g0d, for making it part of your inalterable divine plan that we would have food at this time. We pray that it is part of your divine plan that we have food on a regular basis for many years to come. But if it's not, we'll thank you anyway, because we're sure you know best."

Most people would probably think it was a wonderful, though strangely worded, prayer.

"Thank you, God,for giving me such delightful yummy food that many unfortunate people in the world cannot have. I'm glad that making me fat is part of your oh so divine plan. Amen"

Used to be:
"Here us father as we say, thank you for our food today. Amen."
(Still used occasionally)

Now:
"Thanks for the food."
(If we say grace at all)

That actually happened to me last Thanksgiving when I was at my buddy's house. They all have a good sense of humor, so I just semi-quoted Talladega Nights and said "Dear 8lb 3oz baby Jesus, please use your baby Jesus powers, and bless this family..." My buddy Mike just started cracking up. mrgreen

"Oh (insert completely random God or Goddess from a "heathen" religion), thank you for this bounty that has been placed before us. Let it nourish our bodies so that we can spread the word of your greatness."

Ok let's eat.
