more shit

[Steve Maas]

>Have we covered "up shit creek"?

"...without an oar, a lifejacket, or a spoon," to complete the quote as I 
learned it.
Also, "I Live on Shit Creek" by the Bad Livers, a sort of trash-thrash 
country group, quite good really.

A most useful lesson from early in my planning career.  My boss pointed out 
that I was spending too much time on details in writing a report that would 
be ignored due to that ol' bugaboo "political sensitivites" (your tax 
dollars at work!) thusly:  "You can't polish a turd."
