You can keep a wooden stake in your trunk
On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk
To get motel parking lot, balcony crunk.

My daughter's friend dropped hers in the swimming pool. 

That seemed to do it. 

If you don't have a pool, you should probably ask your pal Hillary where she keeps the hammers and bleach.

(Seriously?  Depending on the OS, there is probably a utility built in that will allow you to perform a sufficient data removal.  I think it's as easy as opening the disk utilities menu and then picking the drive and level of destruction.  That gets data.  If you want to nuke it back to the way it came out of the box, there's a little more involved.  This is a good start:  http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac/how-reset-mac-factory-settings-3494564/)

We have a pool and a pond.  The pond would be better for you.

Now I may be an idiot, but there is one thing I am not, sir, and that, sir, is an idiot.
