Some ancient word association (circa 1991, I think)

cantaloupe
melon
melancholy
collie
dog
Lassie

What I admire most about this construction (which is indeed an authentic bit of word association, fired off in about 2-3 seconds completely off the top of my brother's head) is the diversity of cognitive connections. Much of the linkages are semantic in nature, but there is the fascinating split homophone (for lack of a better term) in the middle, and then the brain stuttering in the middle of the last three words.
