There is a not so subtle difference. John Paul Jones was dug out from under some shop that was built over a cemetery in Paris. His remains were moved to a new crypt in the chapel at Annapolis, where his body lies in a blue grey marble sarcophagus riding on the back of 4 marble dolphins. It is pretty awesome.

“then you really might not want to see this, about John Paul Jones:”

I just write about him. I am not emotionally invested in the man. Besides, he looks than I am likely to when my body has been around that long.

You’ve heard the song Naval Academy midshipmen wrote about Jones?

Everybody works but John Paul Jones!
He lies around all day,
Body pickled in alcohol
On a permanent jag, they say
