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.
Glad I could help. And yeah, the title only makes sense if you've understood the wordplay. Not that there's anything wrong with not getting it, it's actually good that you didn't immediately make the association.
It's just one of those jokes that's really only offensive if you are the type of person to get easily offended for others. It's basically a dad joke.
I'll take you at your word that my lack of association is a good thing, and I appreciate your patience and continuous efforts to help me understand.
