Association of Unassociated Words

[Harold.Wells]

Here's something a bit different - we already have the N/A thread where somebody posts a word that has no connection with the previous word.

It ocurred to me that some of these words, although in the mind of the person posting has no association at all, might actually be associated with the previous word by someone else.

So, I'll start with two words that to me are not associated. The next person will explain why they ARE associated, then give their own word that they don't think is associated with the previous word.

Hopefully it will be easier to play than it is to explain!
