A Medal for Everyone!

They cut to a medal ceremony during the Olympics for some obscure category in a marginal “sport” at best. I think it was for a co-ed left-handed darts. Welter weight division. Medley. Hetero.

Now I’m all for equal opportunity Olympics but c’mon, aren’t we getting a little carried away with all the categories? I mean there are almost as many gold medals as there are spaghetti sauce varieties at Albertson's. Almost. (Heart-Smart Robust Herb, Old World Style. Vine-ripened Tomatoes. Extra Garlic. Lite.  Value-sized.)

Who knows, maybe someday I can compete in the Olympics for middle-aged Men’s "Racko," Balding Bracket. Vision impaired. Flyweight.
