And what do the Germans call a jerry can, an Ami can?

Please, sit down. Have some steaming hot Vichyoisse soup.

You look terrible. Has the Doctor told you how much time you have left?

Hi,

A jerry can holds 20 liters. Don't know the German nickname for the Wehrmachtskanister, but the Ami can gave me a chuckle.

More information than most people will ever want to know about jerry cans =

I highly doubt that Germans would nick name their jerry cans after Americans....but you raise a devil of a good question. Imagine how proud us Americans would feel if we were actually named as part of German gas can....
