The first time I heard the phrase, “You can’t polish a turd,” was in the movie Christine.
The turd in question was the star of the movie – a 1958 Plymouth Fury – that, at that point, looked suspiciously like one.
It’s one of those useful and evocative idioms that can actually be used in conversation. Well, some conversations.
I discovered the following video, and darned if it isn’t a couple of guys demonstrating how to polish poop.
I will also try not to believe that there are people who will try. (But maybe that’s just me.)

Do you think maybe they need to get out more?
