It can't shock you because it's easier for the current to go through the staple then through the person. The neutral is a direct path to ground with far less resistance than the the man holding it, so why would the current go through the man when it has a perfectly good low resistance path to ground through the staple?
Still a dumb thing to do though. Never know what could happen.
If he's grounded and only hits the hot side of it, then anorwood84 is right, he'll definately be shocked. One day this will happen and he'll realize his stupidity.
@MrWilliamSandoval 120 volts certainly can kill you. the difference is the available amperage. the 15 amperes (or 20 if it's an american kitchen outlet) available in a household outlet is much greater than that available from a taser. also, a taser is DC electricity, which is less likely to stop your heart than AC (what a house has)
so yeah, a 120 volt outlet kills you sometimes (if you're grounded enough to carry at least 50 milliamps through you)
omg nick you are stupid!! haha jkjk umm yea this si robyn i no you no cuz i told you i was writing a comment so yea umm dont do tht again!!! haha umm miss you and hope to see ya soon luv ya!! .♥.♥.robynn.♥.♥.
he wouldn't even feel a shock, because the current goes through the metal , not his body, but if he held one half of it in each hand, then he would most likely go into ventricular vibrilation and die.

Well if the staple hits the hot side of the outlet first while hes holding onto it, then he will get shocked.

if he accidentally puts it in the small (negative) slot first, he could actually die

@trucksoner
no. the most output is 120 volts. a taser is 50,000 and that can't kill you.

basically, the amps kill, not the volts
