9:00AM the next day: Chuck is on his way to Olsen’s Mercantile, when he comes across Fred the goat. Fred butts him squarely in the chest, knocking him into a mud pit, and breaking two ribs. Just then Mrs Olsen happens along, and she mistakes him for Joe Kagan. Her eyes light up, and no one else is around, so she squeals, “Say Mr Kagan, I’ve heard that you gentlemen are rather large “down there”.

So she violently jumps Chuck, and breaks two more of his ribs in the process :D

I've read more than once that the reason Charles would get hurt and have to have his chest bandaged was because Michael Landon was so proud of his physique and wanted to show it off whenever he could.

Barrell-chested and kinda soft. A 1950s type of physique.
