Ok here is the deal. The switch make a connection to GND, a near 0 ohm connection. Your wet hand on a good day when you are standing in a puddle of water on a GND wire makes your skin resistance go way down, but you still have internal resistance. This varies by person and sex, but likely not less than 300 ohms. Current follows the path of least resistance, so it will follow the switch wire.
If for some reason the switch was conductive (instead of made of a dielectric) you would still be fighting with the load of the switch (assuming a light bulb in this instance) which is ~ 10-20 ohms (cold), so you might actually feel something at that point.
However, if you were wearing rubber Tennis shoes or Sneakers, all bets are off.We're sorry, the voices in my head are not available at this time. Please try back again soon.Comment

I find the history-distorting machinations of Colon and dannubis rather amusing. So, 100 years ago Belgians could easily have kicked the German's asses? Why didn't you when you had the chance? After all, that was the time of genocide-loving Belgians

It's worth noting that the mighty German war machine in WWI could not even manage to occupy all of Belgium.

I won't mention the German Maji Maji and Herero genocides- I think it almost slipped out, but I managed to disguise it.
