I was just reading a book. I got distracted by the author’s use of “jerry-rigging.”  It should actually be spelled jury rigging.  Jury rig is originally a nautical term; on large ships, a jury rig is a quick-fix replacement of the mast and yard.  The yard is the beam that intersects the mast where sails are set…or to some, the big wooden thing that Peter Pan and Captain Hook had a sword fight on.  People also incorrectly use the word jerry when they talk about Jheri curls.  The little hairdo, made famous by Michael Jackson, was named after the hairdresser Jheri Redding.  Now to tie these facts together:  Michael Jackson had a Jheri curl.  He also wanted to be Peter Pan.  Peter Pan had a sword fight on a yard, which is often replaced by jury rigging.  So people, stop giving this Jerry guy all this undeserved credit.
