I once paid a small fortune to a solicitor in a legal case. She got lost on the way to court, turned up late with the wrong papers and started an argument with the judge, who told her to "shut up, for the love of God". A stunning investment.
Thanks to golddust for the suggestion

but I'm 99% sure that absolutely pure water does not conduct electricity, it needs an electrolyte such as any of the shit that's within the pipes and anything that's come off your skin.

Though I think it's quite certain that the well-meaning but ultimately half-arsed advice we're dishing out about toasters, water and baths shouldn't be used as fact.
EDIT:
Pure water won't, water that has salt in it will conduct electricity but it's not the salt that conducts. Or something.
