Hey, listen up ya'll -

Jack is a nickname for John just because - bitches. It comes from the 18th century England where it was used among ship logs to distinguish between various people enrolled on ships. My real name is John (Jakob Jingle-heimer Schmidt) O'Brien, but everyone calls me Jack - much like John Kennedy aka Jack Kennedy - bitches.

So there, I've had to deal with this shit all my life, so give it a God damn rest!

Best regards,
Jack aka JOHN O'Brien
