Here is a simple script I wrote that will read a text file (in this case a listing of 'One Liners' and 'Deep Thoughts' for the computer to speak. It then randomizes the entries, selects one and speaks the line.
The included Quotes.txt file is already pre-loaded with around 100 entries. All of them are clean funny one liners or some sort of funny comment like:
"OK, so what's the speed of dark?"
Or
"Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm."
Most of these were found on many different sites on the internet. You could enter what ever you want though . . .
Feel free to critique, add, change or modify or suggest changes.
It's really a lot of fun - depending on what type of event trigger you setup for the script.
It would be neat to pass a random time to it and somehow have it trigger randomly.
This could also be used to randomly change the computer's response with a pre-defined list in the text file. . . ideas?
Have fun with it.

Incorporate assigning different voices.
If ATT Voices not used, speak using default voice.
Set aVoice="" if you do not have ATT Voices installed.
