I knew a guy at Skadden who got 6 months off, but I believe it was unpaid.

Whatever is allowed by FMLA. Nothing paid once vacation and sick leave dry out, but you can take up to 12 weeks of leave.
I don't work for a firm.

I got one week paid. And a bit of a "free to go home early pass" in the following weeks where I wasn't expected to gun. Some firms are more generous, some less so. I think you're getting a good deal.

My firm gives a papa 1 month of paid leave, and I know men who have actually taken it. You do have a good deal.

Have you broken the news to your wife about all the money you've lost come Friday morning?

That is an outrageous allegation, and one that has no basis in fact. I throw up on Whiffenpoofs for breakfast.
Actually not true, but I do have a friend who had a grand plan of staging a mass-puking during a Whiff concert. He envisioned a "Stand By Me" pie-eating contest scene type moment. So as a test run, he ate a big dinner and drank some ipacac (sic?) syrup, and waited for the fireworks.
Bad idea.
Apparently ipacac syrup doesn't lead to explosive projectile vomiting. More like agony for about 45 minutes followed by crap slowly dribbling out of your mouth. Oh well, they can't all be gold.

Well, I must give you props for waiting until now to start the trash talk. If Detroit wins, I'll gladly make my donation to the cause. If the Spurs get their heads out of their asses and win, I will refrain from making jokes at your expense, as you'll probably be all grumpy and depressed, and I just can't have that from everyone's favorite poster.
Plus, I intend to make it all back and more playing the internet poker. Or selling my semen. Or both. At the same time too.

You're the one keeping track of how many people pat you on the fucking back for your e-funnies. Pretty fucking pitiful.
But it's nice to know you can find acceptance and fulfillment on these boards.

Agree. It's just the way she's standing. Her tummy looks fine to me:

Ask them if they're interested in some sperm, while you are at it.
Thanks.

I am considering a tit-tat. This would be on the underside of my boob. The concept is a cupid that just shot an arrow situated in such a manner that it cannot be seen whilst wearing a bikini, which means it is under the inner portion of my left boob shooting toward my shoulder. Then, there is the shot arrow discretely on the top/side of my boob (closer to my armpit I guess?). This is difficult to visualize and until I have a veeeerrrry clear vision I am not getting it done. It's just one idea.
I know that whatever I get it will be a tit-tat that is not visible even in a bikini.

My god. Whatever you do - don't fuck up your tits with a tattoo.
1) They look awful
2) They ruin a good rack
3) When they drop, you never know where that tattoo will end up
