: I thought "Jerry" was used for 5-gallon cans that
: gasoline or water was stored in.
: They were copied from the Germans in WWII.
Saw several ads this past week where they were referred to as Jerricans.
They were also about 12" sqaure, 6" thick, laid flat on a roof and appeared
to have some sort of large screw through the middle to hold them down.
Bastardized again...
