name: random_choice
author: Michael DeHaan
version_added: "1.1"
short_description: return random element from list
description:
- The 'random_choice' feature can be used to pick something at random. While it's not a load balancer (there are modules for those),
it can somewhat be used as a poor man's load balancer in a MacGyver like situation.
- At a more basic level, they can be used to add chaos and excitement to otherwise predictable automation environments.

- "go through the door"
- "drink from the goblet"
