“I WOULD do anything for love,” sang Meatloaf, “except that.” He never told us what “that” is.

A Mexican man called Alberto has clearly taken a page out of Meatloaf’s songbook, since he too went to some pretty absurd lengths for some loving. He did move the Earth — literally.

Alberto, a bricklayer from Tijuana, had met the woman of his dreams, and her name was Pamela.

There was just one itsy-bitsy little obstacle in the way of their romance. Pamela is (or was) married.

That said, the forbidden lovers weren’t going to let such things as legally binding marriages stand in their way. The two decided to start an affair.

So, what was Alberto to do?

He dug a tunnel.

And it wasn’t just any little hole in the ground. Alberto poured all his professional expertise into the project and created a comfortable, safe passageway he could use to sneak into Pamela’s home.

The plan worked like a dream. Whenever Pamela’s husband Jorge was away on his security job, Alberto would take the tunnel and come over for some illicit loving.

One day Jorge came home from work early. Realizing the jig was up, Alberto ran off and hid himself.

While Pamela slept, Jorge rummaged through the house in search for her lover boy. Jorge noticed movement behind their couch. But when he pulled the piece of furniture away from the wall, Alberto was not there. All Jorge found was the gaping mouth of Alberto’s tunnel.

Jorge plunged himself into the hole and emerged in Alberto’s home. Alberto and Jorge ended up in a fistfight.

But Alberto is not the only man in Mexico ready to burrow through soil for his love. Cesar Arnoldo Gomez, 50, from the coastal town of Puerto Penasco, had a similar idea.

Gomez had recently been dumped by his girlfriend of 14 years, Griselda Santillan. She ended their relationship because she thought Gomez was just too jealous for her to put up with.

While a breakup can be difficult on anyone — man or woman — Gomez dealt with it a bit worse than most. In a move that proves that he’s totally not jealous or creepy at all, he decided to dig a tunnel under her house so he could spy on his ex-girlfriend.

Gomez, however, wasn’t as handy as Alberto. Gomez’ tunnel caved in before he could really start observing his ex.

Gomez was inside the tunnel when it collapsed. He was trapped underground.

Staff from a local fire station and Red Cross chapter had to dig Gomez out. According to them, he had been trapped for some 24 hours and was severely dehydrated.

Despite that, Gomez didn’t want to leave his tunnel. The rescuers had to drag him out by force. (SD-Agencies)
