in Jesus H. Christ, and where did that come from?

The symbol, derived from the first three letters of the Greek name of Jesus, is transliterated "IHS," "IHC," "JHS," or "JHC." Since the transliteration "IHS" gave rise to the backronym Iesus Hominum Salvator (Latin for "Jesus savior of men"), it is plausible that "JHC" similarly led to "Jesus H. Christ".

I've wondered that myself.
The answers "H for Holy" are amusing, thanks guys.
Uncle Thesis: The samurai has not yet taught us all that needs to be taught. Pipe down.
