I have to ask, and I know I'm giving myself away as a blonde here, but what's skype???

Talking of blondes.........I usually get the brunt of the blonde jokes in the laboratory where I work.......the funniest one I've heard in a long time..............What to you call a blonde with brains???...........A labrador

Liz and Eric don't have children,thats why.

I've only recently learnt what skype is.....its like a phone call over the computer and you can see each other.Something like that......after all I'm just a   poledancing
