That doesn't matter. There's no current in the green (or bare) wire.
There *is* current in the white wire. Using one's own body to provide a
secondary path to ground for that current isn't very smart.
Don't be silly.
A few volts will not harm you. It doesn't matter whether the wires are
carrying no current or are carrying many amps.
Even if those many amps are flowing THROUGH you?
