put "fortune" in your /etc/profile (or ~/.bashrc)

there, you know the answer to your previous question :)
create a file with quotes separated by %
%
silly quote 1
%
silly quote 2
%
call it sillyqoutes - and copy it to your fortunes directory (say
/usr/share/games/fortunes/)
Then run
# strfile sillyquotes
To use only sillyquotes fortune cookies, run fortune -e sillyquotes
