you won't die. actually if you are wearing shoes and not touching anything else, you could stick a fork in an electrical socket without feeling anything at all, since electricity only travels where it has a path to ground. if you jammed a fork in each hand in both sides of the outlet it would be unpleasant but you'd live.

I don't think you can die from such a minor shock but maybe you should check to make sure it doesn't work?
