THEME: phrases reinterpreted as industry leaders
GOOD ONES:
Top orthopedist? BONEHEAD
Top dairyman? CREAM CHEESE
Top entomologist? FLYWHEEL
Top cinematographer? FILM LEADER
Puncture opening? ACU
Main signal SOS [took me awhile to see it: main=sea]
Chances for a walk in the park? AT BATS [chances in baseball]
BTW:
It may be told in anger SECRET [so can anything be told in anger; I can see nothing about a secret that is related to anger]
One may be in your lap {twice used} FELINE and TOY DOG [sorry so weak a clue was twice used]:
1. Better than the one above because lap is at times associated with cats and dogs, but to my taste rather far afield. Really, anything can be in your lap: a kid, a blanket, a girlfriend, even a chair.
2. Lap dog is a term, so canine would be better than feline.
3. Toy dog isn't what they're called; it's simply toy. Toy dog sounds like a crossword puzzle gimme.
RATING: ;D ;D ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
