catch-22 -
A paradoxical situation, from Joseph Heller's book of the same title.
Joseph Heller | Catch-22
There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's own safety in the face of dangers that were real
and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did,
he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he
was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian
was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.
"That's some catch, that Catch-22," he observed.
"It's the best there is,"ќ Doc Daneeka agreed.

Was it a catch-22 when Groucho Marx said he wouldn't want to belong to a club that would have him as a member?
