Oh, the embarrassment!

Let's say you've misspelt something and must admit it. I might type: "Oh, the embarrassment. I blush so fiercely that the papers on my desk ignite and all of Tennessee burns. This blots out the sun for a decade. All die. Oh, the embarrassment." I remember reading this sort of "oh the embarrassment" tag in a science fiction novel probably 15-20 years ago, and that's the earliest source I know of. I can't recall it, though! Does anyone know where this sort of thing originated?
