well if we're gonna get scientific here, <i>table</i> salt is NaCl, and is actually the combination of a salt (sodium) and chlorine. Saying "salt" is not redundant because salt is not the combo of NaCl. Salt is any alkali metal (period 3 of the periodic table). The "salt" category includes lithium, potassium, sodium, rubidium, cesium, and francium.
And back to the original topic, yes, you can get yourself shocked if you piss on an electric fence. Mythbusters or not, I've seen it happen.
