I suspect some of those electric fence devices could put out some
mean waveforms. With a cheap oscillator giving out square or
sawtooth-like waves through a transformer, the voltage could be
'mostly' a couple hundred volts, with some 1KV+ spikes that would jump
through short gaps of air. Unless the Mythbusters tested every make
and model of electric fence (unlikely), I wouldn't say this is
"busted" and I'll be careful where I "go."

This rests under the heading of 'I don't care if it's proven or not,
I'm not gonna try and *disprove* it myself'. :-D

Um... I can testify that at least in SOME circumstances, electricity
CAN
go
up the urine stream. I was 11 years old, and it was a 240 volt hog
fence
just outside of Cherokee, Texas. No lasting damage, except to my
psyche.
Though now that I think about it, perhaps it's the reason I became a
musician....

The were unable to reproduce that phenomenon on "Mythbusters".
Documented on national TV. Classified as "Busted".

Perhaps it's because they weren't using Texas weenies... I'd guess that even
an 11 year old Texas weenie is more powerful than your average California
weenie. Not that there's anything wrong with that....
