It’s Monday, which means it’s time for your weekly dose of locavore levity: the Joke of the Week! This week’s joke comes from Burlington’s Natalie Miller. Take it away, Natalie …

Fact: Ice cream is consistently better than sex. No question.

You’re thinking, This lady is crazy! How could she think ice cream is better than sex?!

Well, I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been in the middle of eating a pint of Ben & Jerry’s and thought, Ugh. When is this going to be over.

About That Joke

Says Miller: This was inspired by a real conversation I had with a friend. Also, I really love ice cream.
