Summary of A Perfect Day, great in its own way

I stumbled into this internet literature bulletin board. There seemed to be
many students posting there, trying to find out what was in these strange
stories their teachers made them read. One thread-question went like this
(short and simple), on the subject "A Perfect Day For Bananafish":
>Can anyone give me a summary of the plot of this story?
>I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
To this, the signature “Wolfie”, answered, just as compact:
>Well, a pedafile takes a girl out in the ocean on a raft, lets his "Magic
>Johnson" loose
>and tells her to look for a ‘Bananfish’
>The end.
Not a unique statement, but excellent in execution. A Pump Up The
Volume-like poetry to it all. And the spelling error, the signature of a
teenage master-piece!
