This is kind of a silly answer, but it works. Mercury is Hg. Mercury is toxic, and in a nutshell, mercury poising causes madness. (Think of the mad hatter from Alice and Wonderland - he had mercury poisoning.) Happy gas also makes you be silly. So Hg = Happy gas = silly = mercury.

Hope my silly method helps!
