Well, If (and it is a substantial if) one could depend on the polarised plug always providing neutral on the same wire in the line cord the following idea could work in theory:
Connect a cap from neutral to chassis, and a separate cap across the line from live to neutral. Both must be safety types.
In this way, the capacitive divider effect would be avoided, no 60v on the chassis, and both lines would have an RF path to the chassis.
However, if the plug or socket wiring was incorrect, the capacitor would provide 120v on the chassis, worse than before - hence my "if" at the beginning of this post.

I don't hold with furniture that talks.
