What is the most unique item you have ever used as a bookmark with a paper book?

Every time I go into book stores or card/gift shops the finest bookmarks are available; some really beautiful. Yet when I look at my old books, actual bookmarks are almost never used. And the oddest items turn up.

Most common, for me, has been the original cash register receipt for the book I'm reading. After that, it could be anything, and I have used:

paper napkin
paper towels
ruler
pen knife
plastic knife
shoelace
envelope
index card
sticky note (post-it note)
post card
photograph
file tab
unfilled prescription

Anyway, the list goes on -- and on....

What's the strangest item you have used as a bookmark in a paper book?
