Cops: Man killed by urinating on downed wire after crash

I've heard of this happening before, especially in rural areas. Fellas, be careful where you wiz. That is all.

 

This also happened in Tommyboy.

 

It was not the pee that killed him.

Urine does not travel in a solid line to the ground. It breaks.

Once you are the ending point of electricity, you are done.

I'm guessing he was standing on the downed line. Taking a leak and nothing to do with it.

 

Piss on an 18-volt electric fence sometime and you will know that's bullshit.

 

I think Mythbusters busted this myth.

 

I was about to make a funny comment, then I saw the dateline for the story. I used to live in Montesano.
That's a real pisser.

 

Mythbusters busted the third rail myth, but found that if you the pee traveled a short enough distance to keep the stream solid it could happen.

 

Had this been a woman, would it have been a shocker?

 

Oh, Bat, just post the pic instead of begging somebody to.

 

This guy agrees.

 

Hey, a bunch of flip jokes from a bunch of borderline talents! Sorry, maybe some of you are middle managers. I don't want that to shade over my point, which is: fuck every single one of your sorry excuses for a sense of humor, and fuck the shitty profession that bred you. Journalism: Do it easy, or go back to the newsroom and bitch until somebody brings free chips.
