I remember what my dad used to say as I was desperately trying to apply a coat of wax to one of my old bangers..."You know, you can try as hard as you like, but you can't polish a turd."

He kinda used that for almost every occasion where I was trying to make something good out of something irretrievably bad.

 Many years ago, when I first started sailing, my instructor was teaching me docking techniques. He said, "The first thing you need to know is never approach a dock any faster than you want to hit it."

 

Cheers,

 

Bob

In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress.
