For layoff pain, you really can't beat nitrous oxide
A tipster swears he saw a Six Apart employee "at a bar in the Lower Haight today inhaling massive amounts of Nitrous Oxide in the corner and passing it around, no joke. I wonder if he was laid off." Do you know what that stuff costs? It's far more likely that Mr. Whip-It still has a job, and can't show up drunk today.
