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" 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."  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.  I did learn a lesson that day - better look before you lean. 
Thanks to everyone who took last month's challenge and entered "Invalid Item" . All of the entries were very entertaining and I enourage you to stop by the forum and read them all. As promised, the top 3 are as follows:

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.

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!  And I was planning on patening that! Guess that means it's back to the drawing board!
