Okay, so listen up, you knucklehead. The joke is playing on the double meaning of "wanted." On one hand, an orphan "wants" (desires) to be loved and cared for. On the other hand, committing a crime makes you "wanted" by the police. It's funny because it's sad, and you, my friend, probably think that's deep.
