This isn't my belief but its very funny:
my granny once told me that the house she had lived in with my mum and my auts and uncles had a fire guard over the fire, and whenever they said grace before a meal my Uncle would look at the Fire Guard. When they went to stay somewhere without a fire guard, he refused to say grace at all. This was because when they said "Dear god..." he'd always said "dear guard..." meaning the fire Guard!!!!
