[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 425154, member: 13599"] one theory is that Jerry Rig comes from the WWII era. Jerry was a nickname for the Germans. story goes, the Germans did whatever was necessary to keep them in action and above the enemy. with the haphazard fixes. Thus, Jerry Rig has carried over to the present time. also confusing is the term "Jury Rig" - - - - - Google: jerry-rig, jerry-built: made in a quick or careless way: not built or designed well. A little-used definition of "jury rig" is intended or designated for temporary use. Jury Rig is a nautical term of unknown origin, and in its early use it usually appeared in the phrase jury mast, referring to a temporary mast put up to replace one that has been lost. A quick fix. whew - sort of like tomato or tomatow, potato or potatow. and Dubs, I agree - [b]Kind of sorry to read that the dealer didn't want to make it right. Too bad.[/b] [/QUOTE]
