   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?   
      
   He bought some expensive men's cologne!

   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.
