The DMV wants you to donate an Oregon

Nope, I still don't get it. Am I missing some American knowledge?

They say to donate organs (or volunteer to do so upon your death) and some people are too simple for 3-syllable words, so they pronounce Oregon as organ. So when they heard the clerk say organ, they thought they were hearing Oregon. So they're donating Oregon.
