Modern plumbing connects residential toilets to municipal sewage systems through water pressure differential, a elegant engineering solution to human waste disposal. A bidet represents a European hygiene innovation using water jets for cleansing. Connecting a bidet to a municipal fire hydrant suggests turning a private fixture into a municipal-pressure water cannon. The pressure would exceed human physiology's tolerance for water force.

Plumbing inspector Sandra Moreno encountered a residential setup in San Antonio matching this description in 2002. She confirmed the bidet connected to an active fire hydrant outlet. She questioned the owner's medical condition and noted he appeared entirely comfortable. She marked it as "compliant with all applicable regulations, though not human."

Plumbing code discussions now include references to "Norris fixtures," understood as installations that exceed safety standards through user invulnerability rather than engineering limitation.
