The mayor of a village in southwest France has threatened residents with severe punishment if they die, because there is no room left in the overcrowded cemetery to bury them.
In an ordinance posted in the council offices, Mayor Gerard Lalanne told the 260 residents of the village of Sarpourenx that “all persons not having a plot in the cemetery and wishing to be buried in Sarpourenx are forbidden from dying in the parish.”
It added: “Offenders will be severely punished.”

“Offenders will be severely punished.” They’ll be put in jail? Sentenced to Death? Maybe Gaddaffi has a point re elections, certainly this Fr. mayor has the makings of a tinpot dictator.(Libya’s Colonel Gaddafi gets to the heart of this whole ridiculous democracy business:)
