Married with Children1987

Doctor:
Excuse me, Mrs. Bundy, but something horrible has happened to your husband.

Peggy:
[into a phone] Uh, Marcy, can I call you back? [after a pause; to the doctor] She says no, and can you speak louder?

Doctor:
There is some good news - he's alive.

Peggy:
Well, how alive? Can he walk? Can he talk? Will he ever be able to work again?

Doctor:
He's a shoe salesman, Mrs. Bundy. We could replace his brain with a sock full of popcorn, he would still be able to work again. See, this is one of those... unfortunate accidents due to simple human error. It seems our surgical team misread your doctor's instructions. It said to give him a circular incision.

Peggy:
So, how could you misread that?

Doctor:
We gave him a... circumcision.
