Must be Wes's daddy?

Jones was one of the best original thinkers.  Many of his basic ideas with HIT and nautilus are still valid.
Problem is/was many of his original ideas and machines were watered down and made less effective.

Far from it.  Give me an example of his behavior that would prove insanity in an insane world.  The feds went after him tax evasion.  He beat them in court repping himself & had the case "dismissed w/ prejudice".  A couple of wks later the FBI agent, Jack Anderson, who told Jones "Your goin' down!" went in for elective surgery & died on the operating table.  Jones said he never laughed that hard once he got the news.  They never F'ed w/ him again.

They tried an early version of "Honey-potting" on him that he saw coming a mile away & didn't respond to her when she visited his production plant telling him to "calibrate" his drill press.  A sexual innuendo he again failed to respond to.  Like alot of people the feds F w/ he had the last laugh dying a millionaire.

Only after a highly publicized trial of Arthur Jones for Income Tax evasion was, it revealed (by the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper in Florida) that Dick Butkus was officially on the Nautilus payroll. That trial resulted in a victory for Arthur Jones over the Internal Revenue
Service. The judgment was not guilty.

Jones used to give Mickey old bald tires off his Nautilus delivery truck (18 wheeler).  Mickey would tear the tire in half using his hands & feet in a kinda of prone deadlift movement.

Thanks for sharing some Jones history. I have seen the occasional remark about him, but never paid much attention. Guy lived an incredible life.
