If the Balloon Help icon in the menu bar *really* bothers you, you can get rid
of it by simply erasing (not removing) the appropriate icon resources in the
System file with ResEdit.  There are three Balloon Help icons (ics#, ics4, and 
ics8), each with a resource ID of -16490.  Open up the icon family editor and
erase each of the three icons (along with the mask) by doubling-clicking on
the eraser tool.  Save your System file and voila!  No more Balloon Help icon!
