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.

Most of the Public see's Catch-22 as "your

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
