Go figure. I'll stab at a couple of unlikelies on the theory that unlikely

17. A velvet shoe.

At some point you're going to have to accept that the Internet doesn't
like you. :)

[Paul Keating]

I vote for 7 because of humble-bee; if I had made it up, I would have written bumble-bee instead. And for 18 because one of them must be it.
