Can we talk about what an absolute Boi John Paul Jones was?
A thread.
Dude gets branded a Pirate by the British so he hooks up with the American Revolution and gets outfits his ship to go Yeet some Lobster backs.

He takes his ship and goes up against like two or three British ships who just shoot him to pieces. The British stop firing and signal to Jones, “Captain, you fought well, surrender your men and your guns and we will let you off like a gentleman.”
To which Jones replies, “&@$! you and your #%?$@& $?!& rattled #%&$! Come over here so I can &$!? !&%#$@ $?!&@%# and your hoe mom, too!!! I have not yet *begun* to fight!”
Then he rams the British ship with his own, locking them together. Climbs up on the railing of his ship.

And just starts shooting British sailors off the deck. He ends up capturing the British ship and using it to sink the other British ships after abandoning his own sinking ship that he started with.
Like can you imagine this dude struttin’ back to Lafayette in some British ship and Lafayette’s all, “Sacré bleu! What az appeened??” And Jones just replies, “Pirate stuff, French dude. Pirate stuff.”
