Orphan's Perk

Alright, listen up, you big dummy. This joke is a play on words, a PUN! 'Grounded' has two meanings, see? First, it means being punished by your parents, like when they tell you not to leave the house. Second, it means being connected to the earth, or having a stable foundation. You, obviously, are not stable. The joke is dark because being an orphan is super sad, you know, no parents. But the 'upside' is you can't be 'grounded' by parents if you don't HAVE parents! Get it? It's a sad little chuckle, like when you try to lift a heavy box but just end up grunting. You're trying your best, I guess. Keep at it, tiger... or maybe just sit down.
