What do you do when a person smells badly of body odor and that person happens to be your boss?! Everyone who happens to walk by the person's office can smell and noone has said or done anything! Human resource is just a couple of doors away from the smell. They have to walk by the office to use the copier or fax machine and actually go in and talk about who knows what! No one will do anything because of getting fired in the bosses department and human resource must have a smellin problem...
Please advise...............Perfume

I think you should sneak a couple of ultra-strong, nearly prescription-strength deodorant sticks onto his/her desk with a note that reads "Dude, you're causing blindness with your BO but we don't want to hurt your feelings. But honestly man, we've smelled pig stalls fresher than you. Sincerely, Flies on the wall."
Or you could be straight up with him/her, walk into his/her office and very innocently say "Oh, do you smell that?"

Honestly, I don't think you are responsible for handling the situation. I would write Human Resources as an "unidentified odor victim" and tell them to handle it. Ask them to treat it like any other offensive material in the work place, for example foul jokes or language, offensive t-shirt sayings, etc.
On the other hand it sounds like HR are total pussies and either don't want or don't know how to handle the situation in a tactful manner. Unless there is a religious or medical reason for the stench, it is unacceptable.
How about all the employees pitch in and buy them a gift basket of bath products?
Or start hanging little pine trees around their desk...
