I would not do that if I were you. Me and a hunting buddy were out in the field hunting rabbits. I had to go and stopped by a fence. Bad idea because that fence was electrified. Anyway lesson learned because whatever current in that battery will find its way to you know where.
Not so fast...Myth busters killed that old wives tale years ago in their "Third Rail" episode. You can't get shocked or electrocuted that way because the stream is not continuous. So unless you directly touched the fence with your underjunk I call BS.
Electricity will always take the path of least resistance and jump around. That is what a short is. People get electrocuted by standing in a puddle of water that is energized by electricity. If the voltage potential is high enough electricity will arc through the air and electrocute you. Like I said earlier find a electrified fence and do that experiment and please let us know what you find. Or if you live in the city pee on one those high voltage rail tracks.Myth busters killed that old wives tale years ago in their "Third Rail" episode.

Not exactly. Electricity takes all paths (when there is more than one) between two points with a voltage difference; the current through each path varies inversely to that path's resistance. It is correct to say that the greatest current follows the path of least resistance.Electricity will always take the path of least resistance and jump around. That is what a short is.

not even close to being true, its voltage that determines current flow through any resistance, and 12v isn't enough voltage to do anything to a human, much less the 2v per cell that you'd be peeing into.
