Oh crap!!! Stain on a new silk tie!!!

So I am borrowing my brother's tie for this thing I had to go to. Afterwards I went to eat out with my dad, then I got a stain on it. So I am trying to figure out how to quickly fix this problem before my mom comes to pick me up. I think it is a grease stain cause I was eating a burger. What is a quick solution? I have googled it but all they say is that I'm ****ed and better off buying another tie.

I have no problem buying my brother another tie but I think he might be upset with me that he didn't even get to wear it. He got it for X-mas from a close friend and has not had a chance to wear it.

Please help me!:bawl:

First off... relax, its a tie. Maybe Im wrong, but I could never see caring enough about a tie to care if my little brother stained it.

Buy one of those Shout!/Tide/Clorox/Arm&Hammer/OxyClean Stain Remover Pens, they work pretty well.

As a frame of reference, I bought a red & black striped tie from the 99cent store. I wore it to my parents house for Christmas, everyone commented on how fancy I was dressed. That tie is awesome, and if you got a stain on it I would just tell you to keep it and I'd buy another.
 
Well I was just going to hide it in his messy room till I had the money for it's replacement. And with my luck he cleaned his room, and confronted me about it. All he said was to buy another one they're $15

For him... he was pretty mellow about it, he's kinda a prick.

And for all those wondering: It was a solid purple tie. And for those wondering what a purple tie goes with: I wore a black oxford with grey skinny jeans, worked pretty good.
