Charlie Eilhardt noticed a perfect example of a crash blossom in a headline in Thursday's Alameda Sun.
You can just picture the City Manager and the District Attorney trying
to walk around with their heads taped together, presumably with duct
tape. What we have is two words in a row, "tapes" and "head," that are
both used as either a noun or a verb, and figuring out which usage is
meant depends on the context. What is really happening is that secret
recordings will be given to the prosecutor. You can enlarge the picture
to read the story here. (via Dave Barry)
