Can you explain this joke please?
A bear 🐻 walks into a bar, and he says to the bartender :
-Hi, mate, can I have a whiskey and……….
……
-Coke please?
-yes, of course, but why the long pause?
And the bear looks down and says:
-I don’t know, I was born with them!
I guess, maybe the word “pause” has a similar sound word?)😅

It’s a “play on words”. The pronuncian of the word “pause” is the same as the pronunciation of the word “paws”, and bears have paws 🐾 And since he’s a bear he is large, so he has long paws (“long pause”).

Ha, yes precisely. It is a play on how “pause” and “paws” sound the same.
