Dunno why balsa's having problems with your program, I'll have to take a
look.  Personally, I generate all my signatures using a program called
signify and a cron job that runs every day early in the morning.    It
builds the signature from a template, and includes a random saying from the
fortune command.

Works well for me, YMMV,
