Giacomo is a LSU shoe quarterback who is known for his ability to quite literally throw away the game when it matters most. One day, during his rigorous shoe throwing exercises, he negligently knocks an innocent civilian unconscious with a stray purple and gold cleat. Giacomo was promptly arrested and taken to jail to await trial. The judge assigned to his trial happened to be a passionate Gator fan who was excited about a potential national championship season for his beloved Florida football team, which Giacomo had spoiled a few years ago with yet another stray cleat. As a result of the judge’s (understandable) resentment towards Giacomo’s previous national championship sabotaging episode, the judge sentenced Giacomo to a lifetime in prison for his current crime. The judge’s comically harsh sentence could be described by which of the following legal theories?

Chambers is a used car salesman in Athens, Georgia. When he’s not picking up garbage from the low-priced vehicles that he scams his customers with, he acts as an agent on behalf of his boss, York. As part of Chambers’s agency duty, he is explicitly instructed by York to deliver one of the cars currently on their sales lot in Athens to one of their other locations in Inglewood, California on York’s behalf. The trip is a little over 2000 miles long and will take several days of driving to complete. Chambers understands that the assignment is time sensitive and must be completed within the current week. Despite this knowledge, he proceeds to go several hundred miles off his instructed route and make a pit stop in Boulder, Colorado. While there, he parties for two whole days and goes on a drunken rampage, destroying dozens of mailboxes in a quiet residential neighborhood with the very car he was told to deliver. Eventually he finishes the remainder of his trip as originally planned and delivers the car, but to the wrong address. As a result, the disgruntled manager of the Inglewood location decides to sue York personally for the failed delivery. Additionally, York discovers that he is also being sued by the residents of the Boulder neighborhood who no longer have mailboxes. What legal argument should York use to defend himself from these lawsuits?
