Jumping Jack flash


Hello!

Believe or not, I did spend some times studying the whole “Jack” thing and it was interesting…. What I learned, namely, was that I had forgotten about the “Jack jumped over a candle stick”… What a character! Apparently it was from old English tales and the name “Jack” is a diminutive of Jacob. Well I still have to look more in to this issue as it has not satisfied my curiosity on where the stories came from; how they came to be…. Obviously, I found Jack shit of what I set out to look for…”Jack shit”, get it? Another “Jack” story about a guy who knew nothing, as opposed to his brother: “Jack of all trades”….aaaand I better stop while I’m ahead, I’ll keep digging and maybe come up with something useful for humanity…. I did find out why a cup of Joe and Starbuck came to be into our vocabulary….

Take care folks…
