The Rules of Acquisition

UPDATED VERSION posted as a response to this, for those of you who like to point out typos. And just cause I'm super nice, I'll put the link here too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a20zM_tq5nY

The Ferengi Rules of Acquisition. Some of the rules had to be slightly modified to fit. The music is from the newgrounds audio portal and was made by TopherJ titled "Canon (Classical Remix)". Enjoy.

Did you make some of these up? Because I own the book Rules of Acquisition, and I know some of these aren't in there. Or perhaps non-canon sources? I know the rule "Expand or Die" was mentioned in Enterprise once as well as DS9, but given a different number. The aforementioned book hinted that the 285 rules came about gradually over time. So perhaps it was pushed back a few rules by the 24th Century. Plus you forgot Quark's rule #286: When Morn leaves, it's all over. lol

@tgbotg Some of the rules come from the non-canon books. I posted an updated version as a response to this video that has the canon rules in white and the non-canon ones in red.

"Expand or Die" is said twice

@Makista100 That's because it's on the list twice.

@black2much But think about this: there are no female bosses in Ferengi society. Also, there are no female employees. Yeah, chew on that chestnut. Not sure what the rules are on Ferengi homosexuality ...
