Putting Chocolate Syrup in the Lawnmower

I have a riding lawnmower which has served me faithfully. With the mower came an instruction book, the truth which sets the mower free to do that for which it was created. Now suppose that I want to give my mower a special treat, because it has served me faithfully for 12 years. So I fill the gas tank with chocolate syrup. We all know that chocolate syrup is more fun than gasoline, it tastes better; it’s a real treat. But the lawnmower will be destroyed. Why? Because its freedom to perform requires submission to the law of lawnmower liberty. (Lou Nicholes - Missionary/Author).
