What is monkeysay?

It is a joke program I've written as an exercise just to become familiar with bash script. It displays a monkey head which gives you some random quotes. It puts together the concepts of cowsay and fortune.

Example output

$ monkeysay
        __
      c(..)o
       (o)
     __/\________________________________________
    |                                            |
    |  Manuals come out after all possible       |
    |  keystrokes fail.                          |
    |____________________________________________|
