Elton John is amazing at the piano but he sucks on the organ.
FUN WITH LANGUAGE
In my wife's house growing up they called small chair blankets "ginks" and now I use it also.
I'm the guy that filled in a "What would you like to be called" line on my dentist's profile with "Hunk of Burning Love". AND THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL ME!!
There's a guy on TV promoting a pill that makes you think better and he lives in a huge house on a lake and he's a substitute teacher and motivational speaker.
PEOPLE UNLIKE US
Everyone thanks the US, the Uk, and Russia for defeating the Axis, but Indians fought on all fronts and gave the Allies the largest number of volunteers in history.
We hold the sum of humankind's knowledge in the palm of our hands and how do we use it?
The nocebo effect is a bit like the 'evil twin' of the placebo effect, occurring when a patient experiences negative side effects to treatment because they're expecting to.

For Dano Brown, toymaker of cult classic characters and proprietor of Dano Banano Toys, the process of making his custom action figures is far from conventional. Using body parts from other action figures and toys from his collection, he crafts and sculpts unique pop culture figures.
In the days of Beavis & Butt-Head, Mike Judge got a voice mail from a deranged hillbilly that for some reason thought the name of the show was "Porky's Butthole" and that's how he got the inspiration for Boomhauer's voice.
I once told a friend at the bar that they had to shave their whole body before his dermatologist appointment the next day.

What really happened...
The Royal Statistical Society has just posted their fiendishly difficult annual Christmas quiz.
Sample question:
"Identify the eight items below, each of which contains a deliberate error. What special name connects them, and which words appearing in #2/#7/#8 are often regarded as the origin of the name (loosely speaking, in the case of #7)?
Finally, continuing the theme of #2, which four of the individuals (taken in order) reveal another much-loved ground-dwelling creature with a distinctive morning cry?"
#5 is pretty easy (the error is that H4 should be R5). I'm still working on the others.
Feel free to offer answers in the Comments.
Addendum: #7 is by other Evelyn (the A3 should be B5). This might open up the floodgates for the other phrases. I'll let someone else do them while I move on to a different puzzle.
