Oh no, no, no! You can't be Person Person Personperson...that's seriously politically incorrect! Don't you realise that PerSON is sexist? Good grief! It must be PerKIN. Obviously. 
I once worked on a radio station in Peterborough and we worked out that you simply couldn't name the town of Godmanchester because you would just offend so many people:
God - man - chest (infers masculinity as opposed to breast etc)- er (sounds very like 'her' and therefore is sexist again).
We re-named it CelestialConceptPerkinSternumPerkin. Seemed to go down really well....
Thanks for the Sorry I haven't a Clue thread...enjoyed it muchly. Now must go and read up about Alex...
