Katrine indicated that all strippers already knew these by heart.
A couple of years ago someone told me they should be called the "Stripper Rules of Acquisition"
Anyway from Star Trek's big eared little businessmen, here, to aid your business acumen, are the:
Ferengi Rules of Acquisition
(OK, here's rule 299. There were too many to post directly)
Quote:
Rule 299»Whenever you exploit someone, it never hurts to thank them. That way, it's easier to exploit them the next time.

Re: Stripper Rules of Aquisition
Not to be really picky... but it is spelled "acquisition". Just a pet peeve of mine. Sorry. I usually don't mention it.
Re: Stripper Rules of Aquisition
rule o97 is my new motto.
Re: Stripper Rules of Aquisition
There are so many good ones for us to use. Obviously ladies, some words need to be replaced(latinum:cash), but it works out exceedingly well:
Quote:
Rule 019 » Satisfaction is not guaranteed.
Rule 060 » Keep your lies consistent.
Rule 068 » Ear stroking will get you anything.(replace ear with crotch or ego }:D)
Rule 152 » A lie is a way to tell the truth to someone who doesn't know.
Rule 153 » Sell the sizzle, not the steak.
Rule 162 » Even in the worst of times, someone turns a profit.
Rule 168 » Whisper your way to success.
Rule 169 » Competition and fair play are mutually exclusive.
Rule 265 » The customer is always right, (...until you get their cash).

Re: Stripper Rules of Aquisition
My Favs were
Never confuse wisdom with luck.
Make your shop easy to find
Gratitude can bring on generosity.
Reward anyone who adds to your profits so they will continue to do so.
Trust is the biggest liability of all.
Count it.
Sell the sizzle, not the steak
A fool and his money is the best customer.
Money can never replace dignity.

This is heresy, a product of a drastic mistake in Ferengi history.
I would instead point you to Rule 109 from the definitive text.
Dignity and an empty sack is worth the sack.

267. If you believe it, they believe it.
Re: Stripper Rules of Aquisition
The first tme I see a dancer who looks like a Ferengi is the last time I step foot into a strip club ;D
Re: Stripper Rules of Aquisition
I'm quite amused.... didn't realize how much a farengi and I have in common (thinking, that is) lol....
Re: Stripper Rules of Aquisition
there's also much strip club wisdom to be found in Rule 21 (never place friendship before profit), rule 78 (when the going gets tough, the tough change the rules), and especially rule 188 (a fool and his money is your best customer) - unless you're working in Vegas, Miami, San Francisco etc. where rule 189 applies (let others keep their reputations, you keep the money) LOL

Melonie,
You're such a Ferengi. :)
I guess that's why you got "Dollar Den".
Re: Stripper Rules of Acquisition
Well my favorites are
Rule 208: Sometimes the only thing more dangerous than a question is an answer.
Rule 256: Accountants do not play the game; they only keep the score.
Rule 255 : A wife is a luxury... a smart accountant, a necessity.
