1. Donald is playing golf at Torrey Pines Golf Course. The sun has just set. Greeting him at the eighth hole is the Beer Cart, a mobile adult-beverage service, operated by Bluto. Donald buys a beer his sixth that day.Mickey and his wife Minnie, tourists from Texas, are playing one hole ahead. Donald hits the ball without first making sure no golfers up ahead are in danger. The errant ball hits Mickey, knocking him unconscious. Minnie confronts Donald. He tells her to back off or hell push her down. Donald turns to walk away and Minnie pulls a handgun from her purse. She shoots Donald in the tail. Bluto sees everything. He tells the detective that Donald threatened to kill Minnie. Donald was charging towards her, wildly swinging a club, he lies. Minnie fired in self defense. Based on Blutos account, Donald is arrested at the hospital.Adding to Donalds problems is a $200,000 medical bill. He needs money. Minnie, he learns, is a popular gamer, with 1,000,000 followers. Donald downloads a photo of Minnie, taken by Mickey, from her webpage and has it printed on t-shirts with Minnie is a Menace on the front. He has sold 50,000 shirts, making a $200,000 profit.Next, Donald calls Goofy, the golf course owner, with a proposal to take over the course Beer Cart service. Goofy declines, saying hes only halfway through his two-year contract with Bluto. Donald says that hell split profits from sales 50/50, a much better rate then the 60/40 deal with Bluto. Goofy accepts.To prevent this sort of gun violence in the future, the California legislature passes a law that prohibits females from possessing guns on golf courses.
