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 Essex Junction’s Joe Gingras. Take it away, Joe…

I read recently that flossing isn’t really that important after all. I’m so mad at my dentist, because I’ll never get back those five minutes of my life I spent lying to him about doing it.

About that joke
Says Gingras: I actually do floss every day, but I hate it and am bad at it. I have a conversation about flossing every time I go to the dentist, to my dismay. So I would say I’ve been working on this joke my whole life.
