You're assuming the same R in both cases here, also. However, with a wall
socket, R is the resistance of the human, while with the fence, R is the
resistance down to the ground, which includes shoes, grass, perhaps gloves,
etc. Also, if you grab the fence with both hands, you're not going to get
current across your heart; at least, not like you do with a socket.
