That reminds me of the method used by Russians at
the time of Soviet Union
when paper was scarce:
they used bus tickets, approx. 2 X 1.5", folded
twice with the corner torn
off as ilustrated on the attachment. The
corner piece was used for wiping the finger.
Sorry, but couldn' resist.

The
sad part is, I actually know someone who does hang their dental floss to
reuse and I also know a real "old-timer" who does pull the plys apart on the
toilet paper.
