I went to the library to find a good boat book.

There were a lot of different types of books in the library. There were
history books, political books, religious books, cook books, novels,
and biographies. I wanted to find a boat book, so I went to the boating
section. When I got to the boating section, it wasn't easy to find a
boat book! In fact, the shelf was jammed with political and religious
books, cookbooks, novels, and biographies. Here and there were some
boat books- but in a lot of cases it wasn't easy to be sure whether a
book was about boating or not. The title would seem promising, but
after the first couple of chapters it would wander off into politics,
editorial opinions, economics, foreign policies, abortion, you name it.
A couple of other library patrons were angrily throwing books at one
another and calling each other names.

You had me sucked in until you said patrons were throwing books at each
other. My librarian would never allow that!
Then, it hit me....Satire...I read about that back in school. Very well
written....unfortunately could be adapted for any and all newsgroups on the
usenet. Sad.
