Ford himself sometimes cracks that his Secret Service contingent receives combat pay when he plays golf. The outcumbent used to tell campaign crowds a story about how, as a boy selling boiled peanuts in Plains, he found there were only two kinds of people in the world, "the good people and those who didn't buy any peanuts."
