Hoosiers?

Back in another time in America, 1968, Sen. Eugene McCarthy was running for President. There was a big primary in Indiana and he was traveling around the state to drum up votes. He had this one really bad joke. He said Indiana became the "Hoosier" state when the first settlers arrived and found ears lying on the ground. They would pick them up and ask, "Whose ears?".

And this guy didn't win!!! Go figure.
