Forget the Lounge Rules. I like the Ferengi Rules of Aquisition

[Rowdyboy]

Just a few of my favorites

01) Once you have their money, never give it back
17) A bargain usually isn't
29) When somebody says "Its not the money, they're lying"
45) Profit has limits, loss has none
138) Law makes everyone equal, but justice goes to the highest bidder

[Rowdyboy]

I know my two are "real" rules.

2. Those sound more like congressional rules.

5. The Ferengi are the Republicans of the universe, except that the Ferengi

are slightly more likeable.

7. Ferengi are smarter

I remember one episode of DS9, where some human told Quark that we used to practise capitalism, but that it nearly destroyed our planet. Quark replied that this was poor management of our business. After all, how can destroying the planet be good for business?

10. I remember one where they went back to the post WW2 United States

And Quark couldn't believe that we did above ground nuclear tests, "they irradiated their own planet." he said incredulously.

11. And was stunned that they voluntarily ingested poison

(smoked cigarettes). He was initially eager to set up shop and exploit HU-man weaknesses to the max!

6. Rule 285

No good deed goes unpunished.

Also, 284: Deep down, everyone's a Ferengi

And rule 47: Never trust a man wearing a better suit than you.

8. A coup in the lounge?!

Didn't they do the same thing to the enterprise once?

[Rowdyboy]

9. LOL....I think you may be right.....

This is what a "Lounge coup" looks like
