cologne de phone

Gag.

Recently someone used the phone at my desk at work. No big deal. There are 4 churches total that use our facility so there are always people coming and going and needing to use the front office for whatever clerical need is beckoning them at the time.

So someone used my phone. Okay. 
However, whoever this mystery phone user was that placed this mystery call sometime about 10 days ago now, was wearing what I can only assume was an exorbitant amount of the most repulsive cologne which somehow has managed to fill the entire office with it's pungent aroma as well as saturate the receiver of the phone so that even now, 10 days later and counting, it's putrid odor snakes into my nostrils with each call answered or placed, and causes me to gag something terrible. 

Ugh! Gross.

And so far all attempts to dispel this evil have been thwarted. Even Lysol disinfectant has been proven useless against its power. It is an unstoppable force, taking every other pleasant fragrance prisoner. 

Please! If anyone has ANY suggestions on how to triumph over this disgusting adversary, I would be forever grateful.

Referring back to what Seinfeld had to deal with with the odor in is car, i would say you have to get rid of the phone. maybe even switch it out with a receiver from another phone, pass the odor along!
