第二十二條軍規

"Catch-22.   Anyone   who   wants   to   get   out   of   combat   duty   isn't   really   crazy."

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.

第22條軍規:「任何人想逃離作戰任務都不是真的瘋了。」

用來描述一個循環的邏輯矛盾。

常見的例子是:

「求職要求會註明:『我們歡迎任何有心想學的新人。』但資歷條件是『有兩年以上工作經驗。』」

上述情形某種程度就符合第22條軍規的狀況:

我如果是新人,就滿足前項條件,受到該公司歡迎

但該公司要求『先有兩年以上工作經驗,』新人就不符合

但該公司又歡迎任何有心想學的新人,但工作經驗不滿兩年
