Cartoon by Bill Day of The Memphis Commercial-Appeal published on 17 March 2009.
When people say that you can't squeeze blood out of / from a turnip, it means that you cannot get something from a person, especially money, that they don't have or aren’t willing to give.
In French, the expression would be literally translated: On ne peut pas presser un navet pour en tirer du sang.
