May mishaps inspire you. There's nothing more funny than someone else's mishaps. Mine are never funny, mind you, but I still share them. While I was reading through the absurd inventions for the "Invalid Item" Open in new Window. contest, one of the entries reminded me of a mishap with bubble gum. It was not the dreaded bubble gum in the hair, although that would have been something. This mishap happened while visiting a large amusement park. I had waited almost an hour in line for a coaster appropriately called "The Joker." I had gotten all the way to the front of the line and was next to board the ride. Wearily, I leaned against the metal bars that form the queue until the gates opened. As I began to walk to the coaster, I realized something was terribly wrong. I was attached. I looked behind me to see a long string of bright pink bubble gum stretching from my rear end to the metal gate I was leaning on. My jaw dropped in horror. I could see the people smiling as they began to point and laugh. The laughter rang in my ears and I yelled at my husband, "Chris!!" The tone I took said, "What are you doing leaving me behind in my time of need? Come rescue me!" It also said, "This is somehow all your fault." *Bigsmile* Time went in slow motion as I somehow disconnected myself from the gum and sat in the seat, paranoid that when I got up, I'd experience another "string" of events. (ba dum crash) The rest of the day my husband was assigned to "picking-gum-off-my-backside" duty. Afterall, it was his fault for letting it happen in the first place. *Pthb* I did learn a lesson that day - better look before you lean. *Laugh*

I don't have an invention to submit, but yours reminded me of a great short story by Robert Heinlein, "The Roads Must Roll". Not a comedy, but I liked it.

I'm not familiar, but I will have to check that out!

Maybe I misread your invention, but I still don't understand it. Oh well, it seemed strange enough.

Yes, it was very strange. It was basically a dome that goes over the street. *Pthb*

Sherri,
I'm sorry but the patent on the Tunnel Drive 2005 already belongs to a Mister...uh, let me check this--oh, here it is, a Mr. McGoo. But his idea was for it to be underground. It just came out last year, it's called TUNNEL FLOOR 2004!

Oh no! *Frown* And I was planning on patening that! Guess that means it's back to the drawing board!
