Don Millers Scene on Town Quintathlon for Over the Hill Gang
Don Miller jokes about an Over the Hill Gang quintathlon as a playful alternative to a youth decathlon. He proposes modified events like a 10 yard walk and short jump, replaces batons with toothpicks, calls the shot drop and discus roll, and mentions aging locals such as George Day and George Shriver. The piece satirizes age and competition labels.
