I just want to say how sad it was to read about Barry Chuckle passing away. Great entertainer and a big miss. Him and his brother Paul have entertained for many years using good old fashioned humor and will be a big miss. If you have not watched the Chuckle Bros, loads on YouTube and I can thoroughly recommend giving them a go. Anyway, I was thinking that a Chuckle Bros Unix fortune command would be great so if anyone knows any sites with Chuckle Bros quotes please let me know.
Chuckle Bros. "Nice church Vicar"
Vicar "It's Norman"
Chuckle Bros. "Nice church Norman"

Color / Colour to Unix output
If you want to add some color to your Unix output, use echo ^[[35m then the text you want e.g. HelloWhere ^[ is "ctrl-v escape" then [
The numeric value will depend on your TERM type (combination of text / background).
echo ^[[0m to reset text (see table below).
The available codes are:

You can combine codes in a single escape sequence by separating them with semicolons.
For example, to create a section of text that is bold text with a yellow foreground and blue background, the escape sequence would be:
^[[1;33;44m
