strong like bull

[Dale Coye]

It's not Boris B., it is in fact Uncle Tonoose (however you spell it) /t@
'nus/ from Danny Thomas' "Make Room for Daddy"-- He was a very
full-of-himself kind of guy who used to brag that he was "strong like bull"--
one episode I remember was where Danny got sick of his boasting and
challenged him to pick up a chair if he was so strong--Danny had previously
attached lead plates to it to make impossible to lift-- Uncle T became
convinced that he was no longer strong like bull, but was 'weak like old
cow'.   And as was mentioned he was supposed to be Lebanese, but my memory is
that it was more like a Slavic accent.
