My weightlifting coach said it to us in 1979 with the Russian accent. So it could be that old. Not that it matters, but the coach’s name was Jim Meyers aka George the Animal Steele. ---

> [@Rugbyhubby](#): > > Haven’t read through to see if this was answered but in Blazing Saddles the quote is “Mongo is strong like bull” I just think it’s kind of humorous that you resurrected a thread from over 11 years ago with just 21 posts to it, but you didn’t have the time to read through to the end. “Shit!
