Listen up, buttercup. This "joke" plays on the word "papers." A book has papers as in pages, get it? But it also makes a jab at the stereotype that Mexicans, especially those who are immigrants, might not have their "papers" in order, meaning their legal documents. It's like saying one has pages and the other has immigration problems. You probably watch a lot of TV, huh?
