Just in two lines:
-----------------8<------------------
#!/bin/bash
fortune filename
-----------------8<------------------

For comparison:
*bo@bogdanm:(~/bin) time fortune
"I'm really enjoying not talking to you ... Let's not talk again REAL
soon ..."

real    0m0.005s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s
*bo@bogdanm:(~/bin) python -c ''
*bo@bogdanm:(~/bin) time python -c ''

real    0m0.059s
user    0m0.030s
sys     0m0.010s
*bo@bogdanm:(~/bin) time python -c 'import random'

real    0m0.148s
user    0m0.050s
sys     0m0.000s

:P
