History: A Jerry Can, is a metal container designed to transport 5.3 gallons of gasoline. These are commonly seen in military movies strapped to jeeps. The "Jerry Can Test" is actually a question: in a crisis situation would you rather have a certain person on your team or a Jerry Can of gasoline? If you would rather trade the person for a Jerry Can then they have failed the test.
I can't think of any reality TV stars that could pass the Jerry Can Test.
Mike Rowe and Chuck Norris ate the only people in Hollywood that could pass the Jerry Can test

To attach, whether by tying down or other means, one object to another in order to increase the object's function and/or mobility.
This term's origins can be traced back to World War II and the use of Jerry cans by American troops.
Jerry cans were attached to GI "jeeps" using straps, tie downs and/or other improvised means; hence the term "Jerry-rig(ged)".

A Jerry is a funny guy! Totally and completely loyal, well traveled, well educated, smart, funny, sexy, talented, good at everything, and a blast to be around. You have a friend for life with a Jerry, but do NOT piss a Jerry off. He can whoop some ass. It's hard to not love a Jerry. A Jerry can throw some wicked parties, is usually the life of the party, and knows everyone, and makes friends with anyone. A Jerry is picky about who he opens up to though. A Jerry is the total package.
Never cross or betray a Jerry, it’ll be a regret of a lifetime.
