I trust you were joking with this suggestion.  But just
in case you aren't:

Anyone care to take a little poll on whether they have
ever been wanted to throw MS Office in the toilet because
of that incessent, annoying, cheeky, ineffective "help"
feature?

I have met many people who loadly agreed that winky,
