Pull your finger out

Does anyone know where the phrase "pull your finger out" came from?
I've got a nice idea that it came from a finger trap but it would be nice if it was true.

I've never heard that phrase used other than literally. Yes, I know I'm very naive, but what is the meaning you have in mind? Or perhaps someone else can enlighten me. SS
