Subject: Singleton methods with method_missing

I don't have any practical use for this, but I was experimenting a bit.   
I just want to create singleton methods on objects of this class.   
There's more to come, but this is the part I'm stuck at :)

This code doesn't actually work, but I think it's close (I hope?)

class OneShot
  def method_missing(m)
    class << self
      define_method(m) { puts m.to_s }
    end
    send(m)
  end
end

When I do this I get "NameError: undefined local variable or method `m'  
for #<Class:#<OneShot:0x32cf74>>" so I think it means that m just isn't  
in scope for the singleton class.  How can I define the singleton  
method?  Is there any way to use binding here?
