OK.  I don't understand why this is funny.  Please explain...

It may have amused me more than most, simply because I freelance and deal with copy editors all the time. That's the kind of detail one learns to screen for, before (ideally) submitting a draft.

Thanks, @Kim Shook and @rotuts. Am not sure whether three days instead of „a week“ amuses me sufficiently, though …

It may have had some amusement value had one known that there was such a thing as pie week. 
Here.

but I'm afraid I just can't see the humour in it.

Strangely enough, I find the idea of pie day (March 14th) utterly funny …

But that's pi day.

I am one of those people who delight in laughing at dumb people.  Clumsy ones, too.  I can barely get the concerned "are you ok?" out around my gasps of ill-stifled laughter.  Just ask my daughter.

I always thought Pi Day was just a day: 3/14, or March 14, named for the first three numbers of Pi. Pi Week is silly. I remember it being a fun day on college campuses because people in the math department would bake pies and sell them like a bake sale to raise money for some project or other.
