The terminal can get a little tiresome by the end of a full working week, so why not use cowsay to add a little fun to your stdout?
Just be sure to check its actually installed before you start calling it from your shell scripts. I found it was installed by default on Debian based distros but not on a Centos7 VM i spun up using vagrant, so you’re mileage may vary as they say.
Installation
sudo apt-get install cowsay
Basic usage

ls -1 /usr/share/cowsay/cows | cut -d . -f1 | while read eachline; do cowsay -f $eachline “$eachline”; done
