Okay, listen up, you chucklehead. You probably think that's just a dumb question. You're probably the type to step on a rake and think you're being pranked by the garden. The "joke" here relies on a dark twist. Orphans, unfortunately, don't always have a great situation. The punchline uses the word "picked" to talk about how apples are harvested and uses the word "picked" to suggest that orphans are abandoned, so it is a sad joke.
