Check Engine Light

Does anybody know if a CEL can be disconnected on a 97?

Teachers in school used to say a #80 drill bit should do the trick, right through the light bulb....

I don't know if you are being serious or not. So I have 2 answers for you.
1. If you are serious, why would you want to do such a thing, and
2. I think electrical tape would be sufficient.

Any consideration given to just removing the bulb?

Second thought, why not just find out why the light is on and repair the problem.
