Around the World in a Bad Mood!

Based on Rene Foss's successful music revue of the same name, which Tom Brokaw called 'A first-class ticket to laughs', this hilarious book confronts every aspect of a flight attendant's absurd world - from the endless array of passanger demands, to the secret language of flight attendants, and a unique version of the 'Safety Demo Shuffle'. Fasten your seatbelt and prepare yourself for a side-splitting perspective on the trials and tribulations of air travel.

"Being a flight attendant is much like being a waitress on a Greyhound bus. With no tips." - Rene Foss "..should be added to the in-flight entertainment schedule of every airline in America." - New York Times

Rene Foss has been an airline steward with Northwest Airlines for 16 years. She is the writer and star of the musical revue Around The World in a Bad Mood, which was performed in major cities across the US. She currently lives in New York City.

• Thought you were tired and cranky after your last flight? Try being a flight attendant! A flight attendant often has a healthy sense of humor about her job-she has to! And one of the funniest people flying the friendly skies today is Rene Foss, who has been a flight attendant for 16 years and counting. Set against the backdrop of the fictional airline WAFTI ("We Apologize for This Inconvenience Airlines"), Around the World in a Bad Mood! confronts every aspect of a flight attendant's existence-from the dumb questions the passengers ask ("Is that your natural hair color?" "Has anyone told you that you resemble Monica Lewinsky?" "Where are we?") to the secret language of flight attendants (you'll learn what "I'll be right back" really means). As Rene points out, both the ability to take abuse and to collect trash in confined areas are prime job requirements for a flight attendant. You must also be a top-notch psychiatrist, policeman, banker, waitress, and baby-sitter. This clever and entertaining book-which also provides some real insight and information about the world of air travel-is the perfect read for those long layovers and a great gift for any frequent flyer.
