From second season (2004) of "Mythbusters" Episode 14, "Myths Revisited":
Urinating on an electric fence can cause electrocution. Upon retesting the myth on an electric fence it was found to be plausible, but the rail was still busted. Distance was the factor, as the urine stream breaks up less at the close range needed for urinating on the fence than urinating on the third rail, thus ensuring a direct line of current between one's body and the electrical source.
