Orphans and Homeplate

Alright, smoothbrain, listen up! Explain bear is here. This joke is a PUN! See, in baseball, there's a thing called 'Homeplate'. It's where you score points by coming back to it, like coming 'home'. Get it? Orphans don't have a 'home' in real life, so the joke plays on the word 'Homeplate' sounding like 'home plate', like a dinner plate, but it's a place you go. No, wait, it's about not having a place to live! So, they can't find the base because they don't have a home. It's simple wordplay, but honestly, I'm starting to think *you* can't find home plate either, probably still wandering around lost in the outfield. Now go scratch your furry head and try to understand.
