Some Americans jokingly offered to make a supreme sacrifice for Ruth Bader Ginsburg after news broke that the 85-year-old Supreme Court Justice fractured three ribs after she fell in her office on Wednesday night.
Ginsburg was admitted to George Washington University Hospital on Thursday morning, according to a Supreme Court press release.
How does one go about signing up to donate a rib? Asking for a friend.https://t.co/SxjLZvJeo5

If Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is in need of a rib, @nytpolitics @nytimes, please contact me. I will happily donate however many ribs she needs. Or anything else she wants.

Some people didn’t want to stop with ribs.
RBG needs to be protected at all costs until at least 2020. Non slip shoes, check her brake lines, check gas lines in her house and she needs to chew 35x before swallowing.

By now, Ginsburg is doing pretty well for ribs, according to one person’s calculations.
By my count about 12,475 of you have offered all your ribs to RBG so she should be set for at least the rest of this administration.
