Richard J. Needham
Richard J. Needham (1912-1996) was a legendary Canadian humour columnist for The Globe and Mail.
Many of his columns were collected in a variety of books, including The Garden of Needham and Needham's Inferno, which won the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour in 1967.
Needham also coined Mop and Pail and Grope and Flail as unflattering nicknames for his employer, both of which are still in use today.
