Since this is a comedy thread, I’ll paraphrase John Cleese.

The great thing about anger is that it really works. It makes you physically stronger and less likely to feel pain. If you’re angry all the time you aren’t worrying about things because you’ve got a target to go after.

I’ll throw in another comedy classic.

The musical “The Music Man” is about a conman who gets the whole town in an uproar over a pool table.
