See Challenge # 158.

I didn't exactly understand this quote, but I fell in love with the idea of Captain Knoczhus as a small minded officious bully.

The saying being referred to is "idle hands make the devils work" - so he keeps his hands in a box, because they're evil. Very Doctor Strangelove of him.

But he says he wants to be evil. Wouldn't having evil hands help with that?

He wants to make certain his hands remain idle. If he can guarantee they remain idle, then they must become the devil's playthings.

Whether his hands are separated from his body, though, I don't know. Personally, I think both images are equally funny.

Ah, right. That makes sense, I'm not sure why it didn't come across clearly.
