I saw a kid wearing tatty rags on a curb, so I asked, "Are you an orphan?"
"Yes," he replied. "What gave me away?" He asked, "Your parents," I said.

Alright, listen up, nimrod. The joke is that the kid asks what "gave him away" as an orphan, meaning what clue revealed his status. But the comedian is playing on words, saying the fact that he DOESN'T have parents is what gave him away. See, it's funny because it's unexpected and you, my friend, are as sharp as a marble.
