Default What are you using to add ATF?

With such a small diameter fill tube, short of using a hypodermic syringe or an eye dropper, what are some suggestions to refilling ATF without making a mess? The standard trans funnels are too big to be usable.

What have you done/used?

There is also the ghetto way if you don't wanna run out and buy a funnel. Roll up a piece of thicker paper and tape to the size you need. Works great for a one time use.
