VIDEO: World's oldest known working Sharpie

(download)

Back in the early 1980s (most likely around 1982), a collegue was handing out black Sharpie marking pens to promote his business. Since then, I have used this Sharpie (now affectionately called 'Old Blackie') in my home office, mostly to address packages. Amazingly, it still continues to work today. Considering how Sharpies tend to dry out over time, this is almost miraculous (like the Virgin Mary appearing on a grilled cheese sandwich.) Until proven otherwise, I'm claiming to own the world's oldest known working Sharpie. Guinness Book of World Records, I await your call.
