This is where I realize a fundamental definition heretofore glazed over in the taxonomy conjured in my grey matter. Hydration and the fire hydrant. Never has it ever occurred to me that the second part of that term actually meant anything other than the shape of the thing on the sidewalk dogs like to pee on and firemen like to hook hoses up to. Also a word found on the box of coconut water my son pulls from the fridge every morning. Hydrant. Who knew?

It's like a hydrant for fire. As if fire wanted a hydrant. Did Carlin already talk about this? or if this is below him on the intellectual scale, did some two bit crap comedian already bring this up?

Do you mean you never knew what the word hydrant meant? Or just that you didn't connect that word to the fire hydrant?
