Google suggests "an ox"

Around here it's as sly as a fox, and as patient as a saint...

My mum used to say I would try the patience of a saint. So I gues that’s what I’d say.

As patient as a rock. Never moving.

I like as patient as a rock. Is it real or did you just make it up?

As patient as a fat Labrador waiting for you to drop a bit of your sandwich on the floor.

Yep, as patient as a Saint or a mother when there are witnesses

I'm presuming sky is a typo for sly? And yes I think the next lines is ox.

I've always heard it as patient as an Ox too. I presume because they toil up and down fields all day without complaint. (I don't actually know enough about oxes (oxen?) to be sure they don't complain but their reputation for patience would suggest so.)

... As a saint, I'd say that.
I need your help with some vandalizing.
I'm really irritated by a local pizza place that has for the last 4 years had the same bloody sign up. 'beer as cold as your ex' s heart'....

It was funny the first month, but they need a new sign (chalk on a board so I could easily grafitti it!).

What would you say: 'beer as cold as?????'
