Long ago when men were men & women were....cough...women there once lived Jack. Jack was a kind man who stood 100ft tall & picked up cars for any would-be mechanic. But one day Jack grew weary of picking up cars all day & so went to a far away land. A tool was invented in his absence. Jack was once found by two children with magic beans....but thats another story.

Because if we called it "Bill", it would sound silly. No, seriously, after the invention of the Bumper Jack, that can raise or lower a car a small amount as you push up or down on a small lever.

The site below is the dictionary definitions for the word JACK.
In the early years, it was invented to take the place of the servant and its definition means just that. To raise something up.
