I read this in a Readers Digest and just had to share it!
On a cruise to Alaska, I saw my very first glacier in the magnificent Inside Passage. Excitedly I asked the ships officer what it was called. "It's some dumb glacier," he replied. Disappointed by his attitude, I bought a map to figure it out myself. I spotted our location and found the name of the ice mass: It was called, just as he'd said, "Sumdum Glacier"
