I don't think Wise Man and Wise Guy are opposites. Certainly not synonyms, but not antonyms either.
The kids in the left hand corner make that picture.
Regarding the cologne thing...
I, too, am sensitive to these strong smells. I wear cologne to work, but it's applied very conservatively. I've had the same bottle for over 2 years now.
Personally I find the stench of B.O. to be much more offensive than overuse of perfume, though both are gross and make me wonder if the individual knows (or cares) that they are bothering those around them.
That being said, there have been two employees here who were politely asked to wear deodorant or some kind of body spray because they stunk so bad. The employees who confronted the individual were told by management that this was actually an HR issue.
So...I guess you should as politely as possible mention it to the coworker directly. Be friendly, maybe even try to throw a joke in to make it less confrontational, and then if they refuse bring it up with HR.
"In Father is Pop then how come Mother's not Mop?"
Because Pop is a derivative of "Papa" and the like, rather than "Father".
EDIT: Also even if one follows that logic, Mother should be "Map" rather than Mop.

A practical purpose whose positive effects do not outweigh the negatives of having a perfectly sculpted outline of your genitalia on display for all to see.Quote:

If you take running seriously, you get the right gear for it. If you take biking seriously, you'll get the right gear for that. If you take music seriously, you'll try your best to get the right gear for that. I don't have a problem with it.
I would never wear spandex based on the fear of getting an erection. No hiding that.
Being a girl is awesome.Quote:

About 2 weeks ago he started to eat less and less. He lost weight fast. Now he's just skin and bones. It's so hard to see him like this when he was always very chunky. He has several large masses in his abdomen.
I raised him from a kitten. We always used to joke that he was my brother, and now that I'm going to lose him it doesn't feel like a joke anymore.
There will never be another cat like Spunky. I've loved him so much during the 12 years I've spent with him.
The world (my world) will be poorer for losing him.
I'm so sorry to hear that, meg. I went through the same thing with my first cat, Rusty. He developed feline leukemia, and watching him go through that was awful. I wish I could offer more in the way of advice or support. With Rusty, I gave him every moment of attention I could spare until we had to put him down. It was really rough on me, as he and I were as close to family as a pet and owner can be, and even thinking back on it now gives me a bit of a lump in my throat. I hope you can spend some time grieving, and then move forward and feel great about the life you afforded him while he was alive.
I'm so sorry, Meg. That's awful.
Meg, I'm sorry.
I had a favorite childhood pet get hit with leukemia and it was just emotionally brutal.
Hang in there.
