OT - That darn bluetooth...
Ayy yo,
I got a co-worker (well actually a few of them) who, after a cup or two of morning coffee their daily toothpaste/mouth regimine is now useless and their breath is left smelling like the depths of two hells sitting inside a garbage truck at a sewer treatment plant in mid-July.
This co-worker in question has "summer teeth" (ya know some are brown, some are biege, some are grey...). One of his toofuses though is actually blue, as in it was knocked out of his head for some reason or another and had to be bonded back into his grill with some magic blue glue. This blue tooth mind you is the sole reason why his breath smells so badly... all the time. You could be in a serious meeting talking about serious stuff, but the minute he opens his mouth, oh boy, the funk starts flying out of his mouth like the flies flew out of Michael Clark Duncan's mouth in the movie, The Green Mile. People are getting sick to their stomachs and all concentration is lost. I swear this dude's breath could strip paint. It's that bad.
What to do, BAF? What to do? Holla atcha boy...
You are in a difficult position and I doubt if I could bring myself to tell a person that there was a problem. I would strategically place a variety of mints (altoids, peppermints etc) on the conference table and prior to the meeting starting everyone take one about the same time and maybe he will take one too. You can also make sure each EE has a candy jar with mints readily available on their desks.

I hear ya, Faith. I don't want to blow up homeboy's spot because we've all had extra onions with our food a time or two in our pre-WLS lives that left us with a funky tongue. But trying to tell somebody that they have bad breath (no matter how externally obvious it may be) is always looked upon in poor taste.
Hmmm....
It's my understanding that most men don't do the HINT HINT thing well. If that were the case then a bunch of ninjas would be putting in the time necessary to keep their women happy at home instead of her having to keep another ninja (or chick - 
let's not discriminate) on da side.
But I digress...
Sometimes you just gotta tell a mawfuggah what the dayum deal is. But in his case where two masks.
I like the mints in the conference room idea. I've kept altoids in every flavor on the edge of my desk and people help themselves all day. Scary, but that fool may not even know he's the one making people gag.
