Earlie, When former President Ford toured the vault at Shearson, back when it was independent, they made him remove his jacket so he couldn't sneak out any certificates. Actually, the policy was that everyone had to remove their jackets, but you would think that an ex-Prez would be above reproach.

Then again, I remember the story I heard from a Medal of Honor winner. President Nixon reached out to shake his hand and the guy sort of winced before he shook hands. Afterward, when asked why he winced, he said "I thought Nixon was going for my watch." <g>
