* The guy who pesters Foster for money in the park who claims he hasn't eaten in three days - except for the ''sandwich he is currently eating.'' He also claims he was in 'Nam despite being about 30.30, makes up a story about a car when he doesn't have one, much less a license to drive one, and is just a terrible liar all around and a pushy asshole. Foster calling him out on every single lie and denying him any help is just deliciously satisfying.

Can't remember for sure but I assume it was a water hazard and not a lake on account of the golf course, dunno if it makes that much of a difference overall so feel free to revert if lake seems accurate.
