Darling, for your birthday I got you the biggest rock I could find

The mayor of a small town near Montreal is under investigation for mischief and harassment after he admitted to dumping a 20-ton boulder on the driveway of his ex-wife. Dany Larivière, the mayor of Saint-Théodore-d’Acton and the owner of an excavation company, says he placed the giant rock in his ex-wife’s driveway to try to get her to stop harassing him. Mr. Larivière, who festooned the rock with a giant bow and sprayed it with fluorescent orange birthday greetings, played coy in a number of interviews, saying the boulder was simply a gift for his ex.



“She never had a rock big enough for her tastes, now she has one,” Mr. Larivière said. He became something of a celebrity Monday as many media outlets treated the act as a gag.



Mr. Larivière delivered the load with a front-end loader at about 3 a.m. on Monday. He said he was stopped twice by police who were suspicious of the movement of heavy construction equipment in the middle of the night. After checking his driver’s licence and the insurance and registration on the loader, they let him carry on, he said.



That's about 20 tons of anger sitting in that driveway. The lucky kids in the middle of that.
