Being unable to know the current date or being unable to subtract two simple numbers is not funny. Encouraging such behavior will waste people's time having to deal with people on this site who can't do simple arithmetic. There are other websites where such cheap "humor" is more acceptable.

We shouldn't encourage people who can't properly read and understand a comment before replying either, but here we are talking to you who jumped on correcting the “2 or 3 years” to “19 years” without noticing that “2007” was in the post so the poster was obviously well aware of that.

1. That is not the joke. It is referencing how humans experience the passage of time at massively different rates to the actual reality, especially as we age.
2. Humour is subjective. So is, to an extent, the amount of it that is acceptable in a given environment. Sense of humour is sometimes objectively non-existent, as you helpfully illustrate by clear example.
You missed the joke.
