I'm sorry. I fail to see any humor in the answer.

Now the other Q and A's were funny - if you enjoy laughing at the misfortune of others who also "don't get it".

I have doubts that these questions were part of any GED test. GED is Government Equivalency Diploma for High School. Did you ever take a test in  a real high school that asked such simple questions as
"Q. How can you delay milk turning sour" 
"Q. What happens to your body as you age"
"Q. Name the four seasons"

These are questions for imbeciles. If these questions were real, could you blame the 16 year olds for submitting idiotic answers to idiotic questions?

The true originator of these Internet jokes is probably laughing at the gullibility of the recipients of the message.

16 year olds? Usually GEDs are given to those who dropped out of high school and were too old to return to get the real diploma. That usually made their age to be 18 years old or older.
