A Mexican bricklayer, identified as Alberto, built an undergroun­d tunnel of love — to secretly visit his married paramour’s home in Tijuana, according to a report.

His lie was half-baked. A Floridian busted with bags of ecstasy and meth claimed they were sugar and cornstarch for baking a cake, according to cops.

Jethro Geneus, 30, was charged with drug traffickin­g after being pulled over at 3 a.m. on New Year’s Day in Port St. Lucie.

A Chinese family lived at a hospital for six years to protest a medical bill.

A patient, known as Tian, was admitted to the Beijing hospital for chronic vomiting in 2014 and spent three days there.

The brainless burglar, a 30year-old from Ipswich, tried to punch through the ceiling of Landsborou­gh Pub in Queensland after getting trapped Wednesday during a heist gone awry.

He was stuck for four hours before a worker heard him calling for help.
