  I've heard that in some cases, SDR actually stands for "Spousally Declined
Radio" (hi hi).

  It's like the memes, where the woman asks her husband/significant other, if
he bought another ham radio. The results are as follows:

1) She says "Look me straight in the eye, and tell me you didn't buy another
radio"...he's now cross-eyed.

2) She has 3 items behind the door, as her husband came home from being out
on errands...they are (for her use):

A) Metal Spoon - Came Home Late
B) Rolling Pin - Came Home Drunk
C) Rifle/Shotgun - Bought Another Ham Radio

3) In the "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" format, the answers are:

A) I won it at a club meeting/hamfest.
B) I got a good trade for it.
C) I'm keeping it for a friend while he's moving.
D) You look wonderful today (is that your final answer??).

4) The apartment building is on fire, and he hands the fireman a fancy HF
rig, saying "Take this...I've got to go back and get my wife!!".
