Paper

I googled up the expression "Now you're talking like a man with a paper ***" and got nowhere. No one seems to know what it means exactly, or what the derivation is. I know that we sometimes call the looseleaf binder hole reinforcement tapes paper assholes, because they are circular and have a hole in them. But I don't know if that has anything to do with the expression.
Anyone know anything about this?

I started thinking rock-paper-scissors for some reason, but it didn't help much.
Then I remembered that apart from a donkey, an *** is an ***, which my spell check

Who is this "we"?

Which of the seven heavens / Was responsible her smile / Wouldn't be sure but attested / That, whoever it was, a *** / Worth kneeling-to for a while / Had tabernacled and rested.
