I Once Had A Small Cavity, He Said Novocaine Probably Wouldn't Be Needed. I Was Tempted To Say: "Grand Forks Is A Tough-Guy Town," But Am Glad I Didn't

I was getting a cavity filled on Monday afternoon. My dentist is a former Gopher hockey player. While he's working, he asked me:

"Have you ever seen that movie ..."

Omigod! I thought, he's read all those snarky cheap shots I've taken at the Foldin' Gophers over the years and it's payback time! He's gonna ask me if I've ever seen Marathon Man and then he's gonna go to town!

"Have you ever seen that movie Mr. Woodcock?"
