I started to think of the Scot who went into the local pub one 
evening, moaning, "I've got the yoors."

One of the regulars looked at him and asked "What's yoors, Mac?"

Mac brightened up a bit, and replied, "Why, thank'ee verra 
much.  I'll have a wee dram of whusky if ye don't mind!"

Anyway, I think a "Yooper" is someone from Michigan's upper peninsula 
(the part north of Wisconsin).
