A Catchy Phrase
1) “You seem to be in a real catch-22 my friend." 2) Chances are that you understand
what this phrase means. 3) These words were first published in the novel Catch-22 by
Joseph Heller in 1961. 4) Since then, the phrase "catch-22” has come to mean any no-win
situation. 5) The story of Yossarian, a World War II bombardier afraid to die for the war, is
best known for its dark humor and satire of bureaucracy. 6) The idiom and the book's title
come from a fictitious military regulation described in the novel, which basically prevents
anyone from avoiding combat missions. 7) "Orr was crazy and could be grounded. 8) 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. 9) Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but
if he was sane he had to fly them. 10) 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. 11) Yossarian was moved very deeply by the
absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle." 12) The story
has become an allegory for any irreconcilable situation.
