The original pun (probably) came many years ago in the radio program "My Word". The end of each program consisted of a Frank Muir or Dennis Norden shaggy dog story based upon a famous saying or quote. I believe that Dennis Norden came up with a story about orphaned Koala bears that refused to drink a special eucalyptus tea prepared by Sister Mercy who was one of the nuns who were helping. Apparently they checked the recipe and found that it had not been prepared properly and "The Koala Tea of Mercy was not strained".
