try 
        |bouncesaying "`cat filename`"
or
        |bouncesaying "`printf 'line1\nline2'`"

you can also try some other tricks (echo 1%2 | tr '%' '\n'), but getting
this right tends to be hard.

Writing your own bouncesaying program isn't really complicated, though:
        #! /bin/sh
        echo line1
        echo line2
        exit 100
