Strange Birthday Presents!

This guy seems a little extreme, but have you ever had or given strange / unusual birthday presents ?

A Canadian mayor is in trouble after he dumped a 20-tonne boulder on his ex-wife's drive as a birthday present.


Dany Larivière is being investigated by police after leaving the enormous rock, gift-wrapped outside Isabelle Prevost's home.


The boulder is topped off with a pink bow on top and has the message "Happy birthday, Isa" spray-painted onto it.


Mr Larivière, who owns an excavation company, delivered the gift overnight using heavy-duty machinery.


Mr Larivière said: "She never had a rock big enough for her tastes, now she has one. That's the biggest rock she'll ever get in her life."


Ms Prevost was said to be too upset to speak about what happened, but her mother branded the prank "disgusting".


Mr Larivière has since removed the boulder but police are still considering whether to bring charges against him.

hahaha... agree with tinkerbell and princesssarah opinions that maybe she's not unappreciative enough to see her husband effort to please her...

The reason why she get upset was that she can not find any place in the house to keep the gift except on the yard... ha ha ha. She got the rock of her life..

The fact that she got her mom to speak for says a lot as well. Me thinks this could be a spoiled brat. Way to go Mayor Larivière I say ;)
