Mr. Van de Graff would be sorely displeased.

I would guess that it wouldn't be any different from putting your hand on a van der Graaf generator; your hair stands up. It might spark (because of the water, which carries electrical charge very well), but nothing bad would happen. A van der Graaf generator transfers an immense amount of voltage, but very little current.

You'd get a painful but harmless shock to your tongue. Ouch!
There's almost no current, but thousands and thousands of volts.

It will hurt like a *&#**&#^
For some extra fun, hold some unsuspecting dimwit's hand when you do it... no shock for you, as you will be a conductor.. Teddy will get a ride, though.
high voltage, low amperage = pain but not death.
Remember, amperage kills.
