I remember when I thought this up. And I wasn’t even thinking about the strip. I was in the kitchen at home and it sort of came into my mind. I’m not really sure what brought it on, but there it was.

Immediately I knew I had something, and had something for Jones.

Jones doesn’t think he’s a genius; he just hasn’t figured out how to cut out the crap that brings on the trouble, and he hasn’t developed the foresight that enables some folks to realize that some good ideas will lead to bad ends.  Sometimes he may even realize that,  but can’t figure out how to keep from checking that road out anyway, in spite of certain doom.
