    He was mad at the guy who introduced Mercury as a processing agent in the manufacturing of felt hats during the 19th century.

    He was angry with people who misunderstand and therefore misuse the word "mad". It means crazy or insane, not angry.

  • He comes from the saying " Mad as a hatter".
    Like someone above stated Mercury was used in felt hat manufacturing and hatters typically went insane from Heavy metal poisoning.  It's even called Mad Hatter's Syndrome.
