Surgeon: Im sorry but your wifes surgery is going to be delayed for a few hours.
Husband: Why? You told me her surgery was urgent!
Surgeon: Well, we need catsup and lots of it to clean the operating room after the previous surgery but the cafeteria ran out because they had a sudden rush on hot dogs and French fries so we sent the head OR nurse to Costco but the checkout line is a bit long and now she cant find her membership card or her coupon.

That brought to mind the Seinfeld episode where Kramer accidentally flipped the Junior Mint into the guy having surgery.
