Multiple choice

I am sure we all have had conversations where a person tries to say something and when he hesitates, someone else fills up the blank for him or completes the sentence for him.

Today in a meeting - four of us sitting at the table - discussing accreditation of hospitals and the current regulations.

One person says “government has come out with a set of new guidelines for equipment, facilities, and services of any hospital. And if these guidelines are not met, then the hospital’s license can be…hhhmmm….”

All the remaining three decided to fill in the blank for him simultaneously…

One person: “evoked”?
Second person: “invoked”?
Third person: “revoked”?

He looked uncomfortable, and decided to just chuck all three choices and went ahead explaining other things as if he had never begun that sentence in the first place! Hmph, so much for helping people out!
