Rip paper in a striaght line

We've all been in a situation without scissors and end up ripping a zigzag line of paper. This happens all the time in forums you have to fill out. This instructable aims to eliminate the problem by teaching you to rip paper in a straight line. I'm not claiming this is my idea, many people have thought of it before me and it's a trick I've learned from my parents.

Step 1 Folding

First fold along the line you would like to rip and crease hard.

Splitting it with a ruler (like a blunt knife) also helps. L

Licking the fold, or applying some sort of liquid to the it will help it tear more easily.
