Embarassment at the vet

My cat had to have surgery.
My husband Steve and I were in the vet office. They prepped the cat for surgery while we talked to the vet tech.
Here's a transcript of the actual conversation:
Vet Tech: "I will give you a call if anything goes wrong. It will probably be awhile before we get started on the actual surgery. The doctor is really anal about making sure everything is perfect."
Steve: "We like anal."
