pee is in droplets; the air in between insulates.

Tell that to the solid stream the one-eyed trouser snake produces when I
visit the loo... (usually... "bifurcated stream" is annoying when it
happens)

And while you're at it, tell it to my little brother, who found out just
how hard an electric fence can bite through a stream of pee. I damaged
myself laughing at that one, I'm sure. Then, since I was "big brother,
and supposed to know better", I got paddled so hard I could have passed
as a baboon hooker for days afterwards - Or so it seemed... The worst
part was I didn't point him at the fence! I didn't even vaguely hint at
possibly suggesting that maybe he should perhaps consider thinking about
choosing that corner to pee in! I was an honest-to-goodness innocent
bystander who simply couldn't help laughing at his plight. But I still
took the ass-whoopin' for "making him do it".

sigh It really is true... There ain't no justice!

But was it worth it? DAMN SKIPPY!!! 30 years later, I still can't get
the image of the poor little booger standing there with his
micro-schlong in hand, his whole body stiff and jiggling slightly, and
making this moan that's beyond describing in text!


Yet, according to Mythbusters, that can't/didn't happen.

Heh... Send 'em out to my place... They can "bust" that "myth", and I'll
film it for amusement value. And I know damn well it *WILL* be amusing -
At least for me. They might tend to disagree (between yelps of pain) but
I'll be highly amused.

These days, it's more difficult to get it to happen, since almost every
fencer available today is the "chopper" type - Pulse... Pulse...
Pulse... The timing has to be right, or the stream contact has to be
prolonged.

Back in the days of the "constantly-hot" type (wire the primary of a
car's ignition coil to an outlet, sink a ground stake and hook up the
neutral to that, then power the fence off the secondary tower) it was
*REAL* easy to get yourself in some *REALLY SERIOUS* - as in potentially
deadly - hurt messing with an electric fence.
