How'd you know?...... Is that you ^, dachuda? She is pretty big but not to the point where they're showing up on those discovery shows that has someone coming around washing your a** crack every week and stuff. I thought those were the only people that had excuses of smelling like that.
Great use of the Seinfeld reference! Must spread rep around.. And I thought this thread was gonna be about some chick at work the op was in to. I figured maybe he likes to say 'that girl at work? Yeah she's really funky, how do i ask her out?' hahaha
An easy way to do it is to just stop in the middle of the conversation and be like "What's that smell?" Kinda sniff around for a little bit, sniff closer to him...then just stop, look embarrassed, and say never mind. End the conversation and walk away briskly. If they don't pick up on that pretty blatant signal then I suggest just bringing it up privately, but more politely. All those who suggest leaving anonymous notes...I think that's asking for trouble. Also kinda lame.
Tell management and let them deal with it. I worked at a place where this 50-year-old lady had constant THO. She wouldn't wear a bra either. She was the web lady, but she sat in the administrative area where all the hob-knobbing went on. They ended up having a meeting to tell everyone how to dress because of this lady. She started wearing bras. It didn't last, but it was nice to not have to concentrate to look at her face when I had to deal with her.
This. I used to work at a major computer company (based in Round Rock, rhymes with "Hell") and had this problem with more than a few people (both bad breath and B.O.). For most, the polite and anonymous note did the trick, but if that didn't work, I took the next step. Leave a small, travel/sample sized mouthwash or deodorant in their chair with a note saying "You really need to use this". That did the trick.

If you don't want to tell them they smell bad, just put some Vicks VapoRub under your nose. I think that's what a coroner uses when he has to work with a badly decomposed body.
