Remembered that one right off and wondered what the teacher would've
done.  Almost certainly, any presentation on the Grand Tetons would
(or should) include the meaning of the name, and that would most
certainly be more obvious a sexual reference than Spotted Dick.

Oh well.  This teacher seems the prudish, Puritanical and somewhat
illogical type.  It's rather sad to hear stories of these folks
"molding the minds of tomorrow."  Wish all teachers were like my
favourite teach in high school - he taught pre-calc & calc but was
still amazing despite my hatred of all calc classes.
