You can only bind to instances of the original type.  You cannot use 
#unbind and #bind to let a method be called on a different type.  But 
this would be necessary for the OP's requirement to be fulfilled.

irb(main):001:0> class Foo
irb(main):002:1> def self.bar;123;end
irb(main):003:1> end
=> nil
irb(main):004:0> m=Foo.method(:bar).unbind
=> #<UnboundMethod: #<Class:Foo>#bar>
irb(main):005:0> f=Foo.new
=> #<Foo:0x105a24a4>
irb(main):006:0> m.bind(f)
TypeError: singleton method called for a different object
         from (irb):6:in `bind'
         from (irb):6
         from /usr/local/bin/irb19:12:in `<main>'
irb(main):007:0> m.bind(Foo)
=> #<Method: Foo.bar>
irb(main):008:0> m.bind(Foo).call
=> 123

Kind regards
