Of course, if your house has the new plastic supply and waste plumbing,
you're not going to accomplish anything.

If you have the time to fabricate some electrodes, you can attach one
to your left arm and one to your right leg and pass a current through
your body this way.  The electrodes should be as large (high surface
area) as possible (to reduce the current density) and should be applied
to your skin as tightly as possible (to prevent arcing).  This will
reduce the likelihood of painful burns.  The 60 Hz AC current, passing
through your chest, will cause fibrillation and death will result from
cardiac standstill.

For esthetic reasons, you may want to put a timer on the circuit
so you don't continue to (literally) cook until someone finds you.
Five minutes should be more than enough time to accomplish the
intended goal without too much heat buildup.
