Granddaddy Clisby Quote #42
Quote from Granddaddy Clisby in Goose Grease
Granddaddy Clisby: Don't worry, kid. I've been winning at poker since I learned to play in a foxhole during the Great War.
Dean: So what was it like fighting in World War I?
Bill: You might be a little young for those stories.
Dean: I'm old enough to play poker.
Granddaddy Clisby: Fine. I guess I can tell you one story.

Granddaddy Clisby: And that's when I shot down the Red Baron.
Bill: No, you didn't. No, he didn't.
Adult Dean: Once Granddaddy got started, there was no stopping him. I heard about trench warfare, mustard gas poisoning, and how he single-handedly saved Paris while falling in love with Josephine Baker.
