So I recently finished reading Catch-22 and it's now one of my favourite books. Hilarious and tragic but brilliant.
It got me thinking about Catch-22 situations. You can make up a situation that applies to the rule or you can state one that actually happened to you.
For those of you who don't know what Cacth-22 is.

[...] Yossarian [...] let out a respectful whistle. "That's
some catch, that Catch-22," he observed.
"It's the best there is," Doc Daneeka agreed.
