Lt. Geordi La Forge, even though blind, "saw" it through his visor. Lt.
Riker, who did not have a weapon on him at the time (no arms) picked the
apple and the naked Kangaroo Man put it in his pocket.

Rats. And I thought the "blind" man sold window coverings...

I can get part of the way there pretty easily:

By "picked", I'll use the definition "choose". So the
man with no arms choose an apple, which the naked man
took. Then the naked man put it in "his" pocket - but
who is the he? The "his" could certainly refer to the
man with no arms, who is presumably clothed. You could
argue that this is twisting the sentence beyond reason,
but if it was a woman with no arms and the sentence read
"the naked man took it and put it in her pocket" then the
sentence would seem perfectly normal.

Now for the harder part: the blind man looking at the
apple tree. Perhaps he was a fully sighted man who makes
venetion blinds, and is on his way to a delivery. This reminds
me of the joke of the woman drying off from a shower who hears
the doorbell ring. She asks "who is it?" and gets the reply
"Blind man". Figuring there is no harm in answering the
door naked, she opens it to find a man with window treatments.

How about this :

The blind man was aware of the existence of the tree; his "look" was for the
benefit of the other two. The man with no arms then "picked", i.e.
_selected_ an apple, that is, he indicated a preference for one particular
apple on the tree. The naked man then took the apple (down from the tree)
and put it in "his", i.e. the armless man's, pocket.

I've got it -- he's trying to answer the puzzle "name a sentence that
ends with AND"...

It is impossible because a blind man cannot see a no hand man cannot shoot and a naked man has no pockets
