Rita is lying in bed one night when she realizes she's lost her uterus. Somehow it's fallen out of her, like change out of an overstuffed wallet, somewhere in the mall, between Reynolds' Shoes and the lingerie counter of a major department store. Horrified, Rita canvasses the mall, checks the lost-and-found. No uterus. Luckily, Rod Nodderman soon offers Rita the chance to relate her plight to the American public on his syndicated TV talk show. As the strains of Nodderman's theme song begin to rise, Rita is prepped by the script coordinators. "Try to say womb," they coach her. "Uterus is far too clinical."
