Catch-22


Can you ground him?
I sure can. But first he has to ask me to.
Then why doesn't he ask you to?
Because he's crazy,
He has to be crazy to keep flying combat missions after all those close calls he's had.
That's all. Let him ask me.
And then you can ground him?
No. Then I can't ground him.
You mean there's a catch?
...Catch-22,
That's some catch,
It's the best there is,
...at times Yossarian wasn't quite sure that he saw it at all,
Orr would be crazy to fly more missions missions and sane if he didn't,
If he flew them he was crazy...
...but if he didnt want to he was sane and had to.
