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.
