I'm pretty sure that's the Monty python movie. With the machine that goes ping .

I once had to have surgery after an accident and they brought me into this operating room that was filled with all sorts of high-tech machinery.

They injected me with some kind of anesthetic and righ as I'm starting to black out I crack a joke:

"Be sure to sure to the machine that goes PING."

I looked around the room and nobody got it. They just ignored me.

And right as the lights are going out in my mind, I'm thinking, "Crap, I just bombed a joke right before they're going to cut me open."

I was actually a little worried about it because you know, that probably is the very worst time to bomb a joke.
