Pig and Hog

Check out these funny expressions.

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig.

A hog in a silk waistcoat is still a hog.

Both convey a meaning of do not do something futile.

And we got another two here

Teach a pig to play on a flute. = Doing things impossible.

What can you expect from a pig but a grunt. = Something like don't expect too much from an idiot.
