Saying the Unsayable
Freddie Woo tugged our coat and asked: Have you ever had to tell someone they had BO? Had to break dreadful news to somebody? Tell us how you broke through the cringe barrier

Looking back on it, it wasn't my proudest moment
Back in my sales office days, we took on a new guy, Spock. That wasn't his real name, but it quickly became his nickname when we realised that he had no sense of humour whatsoever.
Since I was showing him the ropes during his first few weeks, it fell to me to tell him that he had a really bad BO problem. Taking him out of the office, I told him as tactfully as I could that his armpits were causing no little offence to everyone and suggested that maybe he could use a bit of deodorant in future.
He was predictably mortified and promised to do better in future. So far, so good. However, a few days later he was back to his stinky ways... so I walked over to his desk and placed a can of Lynx firmly on it. He went bright red, said "No way!", then took the can and left the room, returning a couple of minutes later smelling somewhat fresher.
To be fair, he never smelled of BO again after that so it did work...

Same thing happened to me except rather than leave the aerosol on his desk I lit it on a zippo and melted the cunt's face.
No second chances in this life.

Could at least have gone up market and got Insignia or Boots Freshypits.

Hahaha, for that all over fresh feeling :)
In answer to monster munch, Lynx was all I could find...
And Shambles, I really wish there was a deodorant called Boots Freshypits

"You smell like a sweaty man.
Here, put this on, so you'll smell like a desperate teenager, instead."
Bleurgh. I used to swear by Lynx Oriental.
