1.) Fold sheet in half twice
2.) Tear tiny piece off the appropriate corner, such that when you open it back up there is a small hole in the middle of the sheet. (Save the little piece.)
3.) Stick your middle finger through the hole.
4.) Wipe once very smoothly, using the finger as a sort of squeegie.
5.) Pinch tightly around the base of the middle finger with the other hand and pull upwards, so that in removing the square of toilet paper you also remove the residue on the middle finger as you move up.
6.) Use the tiny piece from the center to clean under your fingernail.
He swore this was accepted practice among his colleagues. I don't think I'll be trying it.
