Brooklyn man electrocuted while relieving himself on subway's third rail
Published July 08, 2013 | New York Post
A drunken man was electrocuted and killed relieving himself on the third rail in Brooklyn this morning, sources said.
Matthew Zeno, 30, was walking with a friend along the tracks for the southbound G train around 3:10 a.m., at Union Avenue and Broadway in Williamsburg when the horrific accident occurred, cops said.
His 26-year-old pal tried saving him and was also shocked, police added. The friend was able to flag down MTA workers, who in turn called for help, sources said.
Both men were rushed to Woodhull Hospital where Zeno died and the second man was listed in stable condition.

I've read of this happening several times before. I think truth be known they were trying to see who could piss that far.

There's three kinds of people. Those who learn by reading, those who learn by watching, and the rest of us, who just have to pee on the electric fence.

Most of those folks don't have functional TVs and/or accounts allowing them to plug in with legal electricity and cable access. They just have to go on rumors from their fellow homeless souls.

No, they said you probably would with the electric fence, but not the third rail as the stream would break up into separate drops by the time it reached it.
Soooo don't piss on the third rail at close range?
