Liners

Hi, welcome to my page of liners. Liners are quotes of funny/strange bits of conversation. This means there's some sort of interaction between at least two speakers. Anyway, as I have said about my other quotes, some of these are funny only if you were there. Also, the liners may not be outwardly amusing. Sometimes, you just have to try and imagine what the speakers could have been discussing.
