Why not hit it with a baseball bat?
Even better: tie a string onto the neck that is perhaps 10 feet shorter
than the distance to the ground. This should cause the balloon to shred
about four feet above Murgo's head. Even better, use a circular plywood
disk under the balloon and a string bag attached to the string. The jello
gets strained through the bag and gets splaterred sideways by the disk.
