It's a mathematical paradox:
Suppose that we define a set called FOO which contains every set that is
not a member of itself.
Now, does FOO contain FOO?
If yes, that FOO is a set that contains itself, so it shouldn't be a
member of FOO.
If no, that FOO does *not* contain itself, and hence it *should* be a
member of FOO.
Paradox.
incompleteness theorems, but that's essentially the gist of the joke.
