Chuck Yeager on Twitter: "Oct 13, 1947: Ribs hurt. A lot. Went to veterinarian off base. If I'd gone to on base doc, he would have grounded me. Vet taped me up & said, "Don't do nothin' strenuous!" I told Ridley: "We have a problem." He: "Hmph", cut off a broomstick, we tested it. Worked. #BellX1, @TIME"

  As they said in the movie "Anchorman": "Some men are more MAN than others." They were talking about General Yeager.
