Anyone ever read that book "Coffee, tea, or me?"

How . . . dirty . . . is it? I found out that my mom had a copy of it during my early teens. Suffice to say that the title of the book (I never read it) and the fact mom was a stewardess back in the day kinda made me think about her in a way I never had before. I'd classify as a damaging childhood experience. Maybe I can undo a little damage if I find out it's pretty clean. Random thought over, thanks for your attention.

1. I remember it was a TV movie when I was a kid

like in 1969 or 70, so it can't be that bad...

3. Hollywood is great at taking a wonderful book . . .

and making a script from it that is only vaguely reminiscent of the original work. Eh? Starship troopers anyone? Crap movie, but I liked the book quite a bit.

Edit: Oops, I think they can do the same when making a TV show as well.

2. I have. It's definitely tame by today's standards, but worth a read.

So it's not like a precursor to those trashy, 'overly-descriptive'

romance novels.

5. No, not it all. It's pretty humorous too.

7. Whew! Thanks

Damage undone! :D

4. I read it years ago.

From what I recall, there are some mildly risque situations regarding the stewardesses and pilots/passengers, since the events did take place in the "swinging 60s".

6. I read it too.

I remember much mention of layovers, and the hijinks that ensued, but nothing graphic.

IIRC, it predated "The Happy Hooker" by a couple of years. That was a little more naughty.

8. Like your mom....

I was a stewardess "back in the day".

Anyway...why the problem? Sex is dirty? Hormones are optional? Mom should never have done what you do?

I dunno how you kids think you got here - but it wasn't FedEx.
