   In this case, because the (') implies ownership, cheap doesn't modify   
   men's, it modifys cologne. How about; 'expensive men's cologne'   
      
   Are men expensive or is the cologne expensive?

   and? from? There's also an English grammar rule about using an idiom at   
   the beginning of a sentence and/or a preposition at the end of a sentence.   
      
   (idiom) mine is short enough to make a tagline (preposition).   
      
   i.e. mine is short enough to make a tagline.
