Why Josh Can't Be Left Alone

I was reading through the Book of Ruth over the Shavuos Holiday, and I noticed an interesting lesson. Naomi, after returning penniless to her ancestral city, discovers that a relative exists in the community. She instructs her daughter-in-law Ruth to "get to know him better," if you know what I mean. What reason does she give? To paraphrase, he will be her "sugar daddy." The wealthy relative Boaz will come to her rescue, and provide her with comfort for life if she can succeed in arousing his interest. Needless to say, Ruth does, and Boaz does.

So I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Jewish girls have learned their Bible lessons...
