In the episode "Homer Goes to College", Marge sees that Homer has made a bookcase out of cinderblocks and wood. She tells him "Homer, we have a perfectly good bookcase", to which he explains "Yeah, but this is what they're doing on campus. Besides, it isn't costing us: I swiped the cinderblocks from a construction site". Cut to the construction site where a worker informs the foreman that four cinderblocks are missing and the foreman says "There'll be no hospital, then. I'll tell the children." In the syndicated reruns, the scene at the construction site is deleted and the joke is left without a punchline.
