A man who used a wheelchair died. St. Peter met him at the pearly gates and welcomed him. But he was interrupted before he could tell the man where he was going.
"Do you have a ramp?" asked the man.
"Of course we do. Heaven is completely accessible," replied St. Peter. "Let me show you around."
So the two went inside the gates. Everything appeared to be accessible - there were elevators, ramps, braille signs, even state of the art curb cuts.
The man was delighted. "I've never seen such great accommodations," he enthused.
St. Peter pointed him toward a condo. "Here's where you'll be staying."
The man rolled into an apartment and peered into the bathroom. To his dismay, the entrance was so narrow he couldn't get through to use the toilet. He turned and looked at St. Peter. "I don't understand. Why would the bathroom be like this? It's going to be hell if I can't use the toilet."
"Exactly," replied St. Peter, walking away.

::groan::: I guess it's only fair that those of us in wheelchairs have pearly gates jokes too.
I am temporarily in a wheelchair due to surgery and haven't had a good laugh all week. Thanks for this joke.
I'm glad you got a laugh out of my corny attempt to write a joke! Hang in there. The worst part of using a wheelchair is the beginning - when you have no idea how to manage and have no accessible place to wheel around in! Feel free to visit us often -and do come back after you're out of the wheelchair too!
