http://humorfeed.com/story.php?title=creator-of-%E2%80%98elf-and-safety%E2%80%99-pun-killed-in-accident Sid Morgan, author of the now famous festive pun, has ironically been electrocuted by a set of Christmas lights on Barnsley High Street.  The joke elevated Mr Morgan from an office worker to a world-wide celebrity and his work was translated into no less than two different languages.  He went on to tour the world for the next three decades where he would be booked to deliver the line at office Christmas parties.
