>>1034933 The intestines are several meters long tube of slow-twitch muscle with sphincters at either end. (A sphincter is a cobination of circular and radial muscles which acts as a seal, the anus is but one example). If you had something as large as a garden hose the sphincters would not be able to close, and the delicate tissue would be damaged by something like a hose, so the whole process would be unbearably painful and cause constant cramps.
A fellow once swallowed a piece of dental floss which passed through his system over several days, and he posted a video of it on youtube somewhere. Even that is not a very good idea becuase the string can cut and cause damage by friction to the delicate tissues I mentioned before.
