THE CLASSIC BESTSELLER "CATCH 22" . . . CAMPFAIR!

• The only time Doc Daneeka ever went to the medical tent was the time he began to feel he was a very sick man each day and stopped in just to have Gus and Wes look him over.  They could never find anything wrong with him.  His temperature was always 96.8, which was perfectly all right with them, as long as he didn't mind.  Doc Daneeka did mind.  He was beginning to lose confidence in Gus and Wes and was thinking of having them both transferred back to the motor pool and replaced by someone who could find something wrong.
• Yossarian knew he was lying, but did not interrupt as Chief White Halfoat went on to claim that he had never heard from his parents again.  That didn't bother him too much, though, for he had only their word for it that they were his parents, and since they had lied to him about so many other things, they could just as well have been lying to him about that too.  He was much better acquainted with the fate of a tribe of first cousins who had wandered away north in a diversionary movement and pushed inadvertently into Canada.  When, they tried to return, they were topped at the border by American immigration authorities who would not let them back into the country.  they could not come back in because they were red.
• I was a horrible joke, but Doc Daneeka didn't laugh until Yossarian came to him one mission later and pleaded again, without any real expectation of success, to be grounded.  Doc Daneeka snickered once and was soon immersed in problems of his own, which included Chief White Halfoat, who had been challenging him all that morning to Indian wrestle, and Yossarian, who decided right then and there to go crazy.
• "You're wasting your time," Doc Daneeka was forced to tell him.
• "Can't you ground someone who's crazy?"
• "Oh, sure.  I have to.  there's a rule saying I have to ground anyone who's crazy."
• "Then why don't you ground me?  I'm crazy.  Ask Clevinger."
• "Clevinger?  Where is Clevinger?  You find Clevinger and I'll ask him."
• "Then ask any of the others.  They'll tell you how crazy I am."
• "They're crazy."
• "Then why don't you ground them?"
• "Because they're crazy, that's why."
• "Of course they're crazy."  Doc Daneeka replied.  "I just told you they're crazy, didn't I?  And you can't let crazy people decide whether you're crazy or not, can you?"
• Yossarian looked at him soberly and tried another approach.  "Is Orr crazy?"
• "He sure is," Doc Danneeka said.
• "Can you ground him?"
• "I sure can.  But first he has to ask me to.  that's part of the rule."
• "Then why doesn't he ask you to?"
• "Because he's crazy," Doc Daneeka said.  "He has to be crazy to keep flying combat missions after all the close calls he's had.  Sure, I can ground Orr.  But first he has to ask me to."
• "That's all he has to do to be grounded?"
• "That's all.  Let him ask me."
• "And then you can ground him?" Yossarian asked.
• "No.  Then I can't ground him."
• "You mean there's a catch?"
• "Sure there's a catch," Doc Daneeka replied.  "Catch-22.  Anyone who wants to get out of combat duty isn't really crazy."
• There is 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 nave 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 sand 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," Doc Daneeka agreed.
• Yossarian saw it clearly in all its spinning reasonableness. . . . lol
