This one via the ever-humorous Criggo.
See my post from two years ago for several dozen more. If nothing there makes you laugh, you must be a crotchety old Scrooge.
p.s. - Dan Bloom, who coined the term "crash blossoms" (at a copy editors' forum) left a comment back then indicating that he was authoring a book on the subject, but I can't find anything listed at Amazon. There is a relevant website.
Even if you can't find the book, you can always link to the website:

It's still updated from time to time.
Excellent, chakolate. Your link had an "about" section with a link to the origination of the term.
