Q. what do you get when you cross a Klingon with a Ferengi?
A. Not sure but there's a lot of them in Amsterdam

The homeworld of the Ferengi species is Ferenginar. The Ferengi have a culture which is based entirely upon commerce. They follow a code of conduct known as "The Ferengi Rules of Acquisition." These rules ordain conduct such as "Never place family before business." Reportedly these rules are subject to interpretation depending upon the situation. Plea bargaining is a legal tradition, as is the purchasing of an apprenticeship following the Attainment Ceremony. There is no distinction between business and pleasure in Ferengi culture. Money is expected to accompany every interchange of life, even private visits to family and friends' homes and government business.
Ferengi females have smaller lobes then males and are not permitted to go out in public, hold jobs, wear clothing or particpate in trade or commerce. They are also forbidden to travel. A woman talking to a stranger is considered an insult; a clothed one is cause to shield or avert one's eyes.

{285 rules}
1. Once you have their money, never give it back
2. The best deal is the one that makes the most profit
3. Never spend more for an acquisition than you have to
4. A woman wearing clothes is like a man in the kitchen
5. If you can't break a contract, bend it
6. Never let family stand in the way of opportunity
7. Always keep your ears open
8. Small print leads to large risk
9. Instinct plus opportunity equals profit
10. Greed is eternal
The guy who invented the Ferengi had to have been living in Amsterdam...
