Can you explain this joke please?
A bear š» walks into a bar, and he says to the bartender :
-Hi, mate, can I have a whiskey andā¦ā¦ā¦.
ā¦ā¦
-Coke please?
-yes, of course, but why the long pause?
And the bear looks down and says:
-I donāt know, I was born with them!
I guess, maybe the word āpauseā has a similar sound word?)š

Itās a āplay on wordsā. The pronuncian of the word āpauseā is the same as the pronunciation of the word āpawsā, and bears have paws š¾ And since heās a bear he is large, so he has long paws (ālong pauseā).

Ha, yes precisely. It is a play on how āpauseā and āpawsā sound the same.
