Apple vs. Orphan

Alright, listen up, you chucklehead! You think you're so smart, huh? You're the kind of person who probably can't find your way out of a paper bag. Okay, so this "joke" here is using a play on words. You know, like when one thing sounds like another thing but means something different? Well, it plays on the word "picked", which in the first case refers to literally picking an apple from a tree but in the second case is used to describe how orphans are chosen for adoption. It's dark because it implies orphans are not chosen while apples are. Simple, right?
