Why isn’t the word “orphan” spelled with an “f” instead of “ph?” Because that “f” stands for “family,” and the word “orphan” doesn’t have a family.

Listen up, buttercup. The joke is all about why "orphan" isn't spelled with an "f" instead of "ph." The punchline is that the letter "f" would stand for "family," which orphans don't have. It's funny because it points out the sad situation of orphans in a quirky way. You probably did not know what an orphan is. That's ok, smart people like me have to explain things to dummy dum dums like you!
