Something similar to this was in a book I read as a child:
"Linda, where John had had "had", had had "had had". "Had had" had had the teacher's approval.

Of course "had" and "had" are two different words, in a sense. One is an auxiliary verb indicating tense [i.e., time] and the other is a verb indicating "possessing" or "accruing to".
