Jim found a jacket in the wreckage of a burned down building with MMJ on it. Or so I have read.

Go to wikipedia, supposedly a burned down pub that jim was fond of is where the MMJ jacket was found.

I still think it's a reference to wearing a condom with morning wood.

Jim found a jacket with the initials MMJ in the remnants of an old burned down bar he used to go to where god/the spiritual entities told him they stood for my morning jacket.

....because everyone knows we've gotta tell the guy five times before he gets it.  ;)

I think he just made it up, kind of like that story about a burned down house.  Good one, Jim!   ;)
