    Assuming that you’re not being intentionally obtuse to call out OP for a mildly distasteful post, the joke is that there are attractive women in wheelchairs. Another term for attractiveness is “hot”, so they’re hot people with wheels.

      Thank you for the clarification. I suspected as much, as you can see from my later comment, but I was legitimately confused.

      I’m still not sure if I understand the humor (something about the implied double meaning of “hot wheels” I’m guessing), but it’s not at all uncommon for a joke to go over my head. I’m also not sure what is in any way distasteful about the post, and I hope I haven’t contributed to any distastefulness.

      I’m on the spectrum so I’m used to misunderstanding things that are obvious to other people. I apologize if I came across as being intentionally obtuse to you, OP, or anyone else.

        Being intentionally obtuse can be a good counter to bigotry masking as humor, so I wasn’t meaning it as an insult or anything.

        But yeah, the double entendre is where the humor is at, but it’s not a particularly good joke. It got a small chuckle from me because it’s mildly creative wordplay.

          I see, thank you again for the additional details! I feel like I finally understand the joke thanks to you.

          I think the reference to the track in the title text threw me off the most, and I didn’t even realize that it was supposed to be a joke until reading the top comment.

          Thank you for also clarifying that you weren’t speaking negatively about me if I had been intentionally obtuse. I hope the mild distastefulness of the post isn’t due to bigotry.
