Along this same line... A good friend of mine works for the Chicago water reclamation system. (aka toilet water)... Over certain aeration areas they collect off-gassing to burn to get rid of the smell.
The resulting air goes through a pipe to the plant. The engineers that designed this system named it the Foul Air Recovery Tube knowing that all pipes are labeled with abbreviations. So through at least one Chicago plant - there is a pipe labeled F.A.R.T. running through it carrying sewer gas.
