hey anybody out there,

i have a bottle of mens cologne on my wood dresser that is stuck like
glue.
i don't know what happen. some years ago, i belive it fell to it's side
and there must have been some kind of slight leak. well,it's been
laying on it's side STUCK to the wood for years now. I've been tempted
to beat it with a hammer and get it off. but my big fear is that it
will break open and my room will smell like mens cologne for eternity.
any suggestions?

Most colognes are alcohol-based. Try applying a bit of alcohol (rubbing
alcohol, denatured alcohol, vodka, it doesn't really matter) around the edges
of the bottle and see if that frees it up.

Well, how about the hair of the dog that bit you? Can you loosen the cap a
little, so more of the cologne leaks out? Only this time, pry it up or pick
it up after the bond softens, and before it dries out again.

take it outside and use a proper tool for removal.. I prefer a 357, but some
folks are still hung up on the old 45 cal....
oh.. and if you have neighbors that you like, use wadcutter ammo..
