1. A pun with the word pair.
2. The culmination of the old adage; a pickle and a bead make a pear.
The orgins of the pear are unknown. The earliest know usage was in the 8th century in England where a naturalist by the name of Eli Gregory noted the curious behavior of a bear and a pickle.
Gregory, E 888 AD " There I was on a nob hill watching a bear eat a pickle, I was fascinated by the veracity and fervor the bear displayed while consuming the pickle. Moments later I witnessed, to my surprise, the bear shat out a fully mature pear. My eyes widened as I noticed the pear was completely clean and free of scat. Leaf and stem were intact. I though to myself a pickle and a bear make a pear. As I proceeded to say this aloud a passerby asked me what I was murmuring. To which I replied a pickle and a bear make a pear."
