sharpie marker 

1. An incredibly useful permanent marker, known also as a Sharpie.

2. What you award to someone (or yourself) after a differently lame story. Used among architecture students instead of a one, ten, or twenty dollar bill. Intended to simultaneously add interest to the story and mock the storyteller.

And then you found a sharpie marker.
