Pop an electron into the system at one end, and that instant, one pops out at the other. The water that one puts in a pipe is not the same water that comes out the other end (unless the pipe was empty initially - not possible with electrons in a wire). With AC current, it is entirely possible that no individual electron makes it down the entire length of the wire.

If our Sun winked out of existence tomorrow, how long would it take for 
our planet to cease circling where our Sun once was?
