I don't know where these other definitions are coming from, but "Catch 22"
is quite simple: You can get out of the military if you are insane, but you have to ask to be let out. However, if you ask to be let out of the military, you aren't insane.

Catch 22 is variously defined in the novel, but its ultimate definition is this: "They can do anything to you that you can't stop them from doing." Ford's Corollary to Catch 22 is this: "You can do anything that they can't stop you from doing." Personally, I find this a much more useful guide to life than Mr. Heller's. all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) The Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com Expedition sailboat charters www.expeditionsail.com |
