DefinitionYour turn

When you’re really frustrated, sometimes you need to do something to release all that energy. People do something physical as a way to make them feel better. What do you do to take out your frustration? Some people might go for a long run; others might punch the wall (occasionally done by JR, never by Jeff). In Canada, you can take out your frustration at an axe-throwing facility. If you’re really mad at someone or something, you can throw an axe at a wooden target until you’ve released all your bad energy. But wait—Canadians are so nice, so why do they need to take out their frustration on anything?
