Catch-22 is the paradoxical reasoning from the book by Joseph Heller of the same name. The novel is centered around soldiers who want to be exempt from flying missions due to insanity. But it was proof of their sanity if they asked to be grounded from the missions because only people who are insane would fly them. By this logic, no soldier could be grounded.
