How To Make A Chopsticks Rest

A quickie. Should you find yourself in the sort of joint where they provide chopsticks in paper wrappers, and the table setting lacks the requisite elegant porcelain chopsticks rest as found in the more upmarket establishments, you can give your table a touch of class (I won't say which one) as well as amuse your dining companions for entire seconds with this neat little trick.
