[Ads-l] Shortest crash blossom?

[Chris Waigl]

Other 5-word crash blossoms (inconsistent capitalization because copied
from source):

Greece fears batter markets again
Welcome Replaces Costly for Honduras
Hazard Low on Sharp Wing
Bird to direct fourth Impossible
Ex-editor prank call protest fine
Police chase driver in hospital
.... and of course: British Left Waffles On Falklands

In 4-words I find one from South Africa:
Man shoots dead robber

And there's a slightly obscure 3-word one:
FINE FOR GEESE
