It took me about 5 try's to find a magic marker at hardware stores.
Each try got me more and more perplexed and I would have to stop at
another type of store to get one. Then I ran into a concerned employee
that had me explain what one of these mysterious tools was and she
goes "Oh a Sharpy!"


Go figure!

You were asking for a specific brand-name for a permanent marker (Magic
Marker), and the clerk provided you with a different brand-name
(Sharpie)........
