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
