This guy dies, and goes to Heaven, and St. Peter is showing him around. After several hours of walking through the streets of Heavenly palaces, the guy realizes he has to use the bathroom, so they stop at the Heaven cafeteria so he can use the public bathroom there.

A few minutes later, the guy comes running out of the bathroom, saying, "I can't use the bathroom in there! I looked through the little slots in the urinals, and I could see thousands of moaning people down there!"

St. Peter replies, "Oh, don't worry about those people, they are just the people of Illinois. Everybody pisses on them."
