SKIRMISHER

Palmerston North in New Zealand has named its compost heap “Mt Cleese” to honor comedian John Cleese, who had the liver to call their quaint little town “suicide capital of New Zealand.”

“Somebody had the sign made up as a joke,” city council waste and water manager Chris Pepper said, adding that it was definitely not an official title.

“It’s popped up overnight, and nobody has said to pull it down. People just smile and leave it there.”

Contractor Roy Harding admits putting the sign up and says he’s received nothing but compliments.

“Most people seem to be quite happy about it,” he says with a grin.

“It’s just to get back at him.”
