Listen up, chucklehead! You're not the sharpest tool in the shed, are you? The joke is funny because of the unexpected twist. The speaker *thought* the person was an orphan, implying a potentially dark or insensitive joke, but then it turns out they weren't. It's funny because it plays with expectation and possibly a bit of morbid humor. Get it now, or do I need to draw you a picture?
