Line 64:
** Rule of Acquisition Number 113: Always have sex with the boss. And Ferengi women are supposed to stay at home... Granted, this rule only appeared in the non-canon ''Legends of the Ferengi'' book, but it was written by the executive producers of the show.
*** Canonically, there is a Ferengi book called ''Oo-mox for Fun and Profit''. Oo-mox is a (partially) sexual act, and at the time only Ferengi males were legally allowed to earn profit.
**** Both of these have a lot of the [[Ho Yay]] taken out of them by the fact that most of the Rules were clearly written after the Ferengi became spacefaring traders and thus started having business dealings with species where females ''are'' allowed to be employed and earn profit. "It never hurts to sleep with the boss" could thus be a bit of advice Ferengi males give their non-Ferengi female employees (or advice they take themselves in the unlikely event they start working for a non-Ferengi female). And the first time ''Oo-mox for Fun and Profit'' shows up, Quark is giving it to a (non-Ferengi, obviously) dabo girl, implying that she should use it as a way to increase her profits via her employment by him.
** Quark didn't merely cross-dress, but actually [[Gender Bender|crossed genders]] to make sure a scheme succeeded. The fact that he was able to change and then ''change back again'' using nothing more than some advanced surgery suggests the [[Fridge Logic|Ferengi have had reason to do something like this before]]. Maybe this easy trans-sexuality comes from being willing (and able) to do just about ''anything'' to close a deal, which on occasion might have included feminine sexual favors for the customer when there aren't any females available... yet.
** Garak. Toned done after his first appearance because the writers weren't fans of Garak/Bashir shippers.
