I woulde tell the following joke and hope the punch line was understood:\nA famous English tea taster, believing he had tasted every tea known to man, decided to retire. At his retirement party, someone mentioned a tea made from the hair of a koala bear and only available in a small town called Mercy in the Australian Outback.\nWell, because he hadn't tried this tea, the tea taster postponed his retirement and set off for Australia. After his British Airways flight landed in Sydney, he switched to Qantas for a flight to Alice Springs then to a bus which took him to Mercy, deep in the Outback.\nWalking along the only street in Mercy, he found a small bar, went inside, sat down at the counter and asked the barman if he could have a cup of the famous tea made from the hair of a koala bear.\nThe barman went back to the kitchen an a few minutes later returned with a cup of the tea. The English tea taster took a sip and immediately spat it out.\n"This tea is vile, the worst I've ever tasted," he exclaimed. "It is also full of hair; the very least you could have done is strain it."\nThe barman, somewhat taken aback, said: "But sir, the koala tea of Mercy is not strained."

I have never heard this phrase before, so this is a total guess:\n\nThe coffee cup has no legs, so obviously it's not very mobile.  However, even though a three-legged bird has legs, it's not mobile either because the three legs can't get working together properly.  So, I think this phrase means something like, overkill is sometimes worse than not having enough.

It's part of a song I think Tom T. Hall sang years ago.  It probably means what you think it means. Isn't this the ideal for a man?  For me, I prefer a slow horse, my slightly older man, iced tea and more money too! LOL  (I am a granny, ya know)

I would ask you to define "smouches," but I'm afraid you might try.\n\nNevermind.  I found it:\n\nSMOUCH\nCounterfeit tea.\nWhen tea first arrived in Britain from China in the 1660s it was extremely expensive, made much more so in the following century by customs duties which greatly encouraged smuggling. Its high price was a stimulus also to counterfeiters, who made imitation teas out of the dried leaves of hawthorn, ash, sloe and other native British plants. These were coloured with various noxious substances, such as verdigris and copperas, and sold to dealers under the slang name of smouch (more formally and euphemistically, British tea). So pervasive was this practice (one estimate is that three million pounds weight were being made each year at one point) that Parliament passed an Act in 1725 condemning it, not only because it cheated the Revenue but because it resulted in the “destruction of great quantities of timber, woods and underwoods”. The source of the word is unknown, though it was also current in the same period as a dialect term for a kiss (hence the modern smooch), and as an offensive slang term for a Jew, and later turns up in the US as a verb meaning “to acquire dishonestly; to pilfer” (for example, in Huckleberry Finn: “So I’ll mosey along now, and smouch a couple of case-knives”).
