How about "If you tell 2 of the 3 people who went to the hamfest with
you that they'll have to find their own ride home because you bought so
much stuff that there's no room for them in your mobile."

My Elmer once told me of the "infamous xyl magic trick..."
Neighbors see you quitely hauling your newly purchased equipment in
through the back door of the house. Then once the heavy stuff is
carried in through the back door, one more trip in through the front
door with a small roll of solder.

You start cursing about halfway home because you forgot to get a can of
dust to sprinkle over you aquisitions, which will be placed in the back
of a closet.
The plan was to tell the XYL that you've had that stuff for years and just decided to rotate some equipment.

....you have nothing at all to show for the time spent except the
loss of the admission fee, as you pull into your driveway shaking your
head wondering why you bothered to go, disappointed by the fact that
there were 1/4th of the tailgaters at this year's fest compared to last
year's (and last year there were 1/4th compared to the previous year),
and most of the vendors were selling junk computer components, jewelry,
and magnetic bracelets that cure cancer, while you ponder the question,
"Do hams ever bathe?".

1) Your credit cards and pocket book hoist the white flag.
2) You're four pounds heavier from all the junk food you've eaten.
3) The first thing you hear when you stagger in through the door is either a) Not more junk! or b) You bought what!!!
But, you had fun <G>.

Your trunk is full, but there is not a single item in it that the average person would recognize.

When pulling into your driveway you have this most gorgeous looking woman sitting next to you in the front seat of your car.
What does this have to have to do with ham radio, you ask? Well,
while at the hamfest you run into your ex-wife. She was and still is
the most beautiful thing on the face of the earth. While you were
married she was perfect in every way. I mean EVERY WAY. The only
problem you had was she didn't like ham radio and was the reason you
broke up. You now learn she got her ham ticket, is a "DX Hound", avid
contester, and enjoys climbing towers. She tells you that she is now in
the same "rut" you were in while married to her and she is willing to
leave her husband to come back to you.
You are now pondering, while sitting in your driveway, how to tell your wife to "get out".
73 es have fun

You have coffee, powdered sugar and ketchup stains on your white polo
shirt - you know, the one that has your embroidered callsign on it.
There are hot dog bun crumbs in the pocket.

you went with a few of your friends without anything in mind to buy
but each came home something you didn't need because you want to keep
the fests going as long as you can. Your experience at the ham fest is
only what you put into it.
