Dear Hillary,
One of the guys in my office has a problem with body odor. He does not seem to realize this, but it is now getting to the stage that nobody wants to sit downwind from him. He is a nice enough chap and gets on with us all (9 men and 2 women) in our office. Have you any suggestions Hillary that can help us through this difficult problem. The man in question owns the company, so there is another problem, as you can imagine.

Dear Nosey,
Tread very softly my Petal. This is not the first time I have come across this kind of problem and it is a very difficult situation. Whichever course of action you take, you could end up in a confrontation situation very easily. Begin by getting everyone in the office to have a small incense burner going on their desk. When he is the only person without one, he will ask you why, which is the time when you have to wriggle around a little and tell him that someone in the office has bad body odor, but nobody is sure who it is, so you are masking the smell. Then retire stage left gracefully. Hope you still have a job on Monday.
