'Love vacation'? Talk about fringe benefits ...

Some Finnish lawmakers are proposing the addition of a new item to the list of government entitlements: Sex.

A bill before Parliament, proposed by poet/lawmaker Tommy Tabermann and supported by 13 of his colleagues, would grant workers a paid week off each year to be used as a "love vacation" to help Finns connect with each other “on an erotic as well as an emotional level,” helping them "find their way back to the path of love..."

Tabermann says he's concerned about Finland's high divorce rate and the "depression and stress" its workers are feeling. By law, Finns already get 25 days of paid vacation a year, plus 10 paid holidays.

I'm not quite sure how this would work. If you don't end up, um, you know, on those days off, do you lose vacation time or have your pay docked? On the other hand, this could generate some of the greatest pick-up lines ever. Hey, it's your patriotic duty ...
