Listen up, buttercup. This joke is funny because it uses the words "home run" in a clever way. Orphans don't have a home, and in baseball, a "home run" means you score by running all the bases, ending at home base. So, it's a double meaning! Get it? Probably not, you're too busy picking your nose and eating it.
